How will the Framework work?

Cooperative Strategic Interdependent Statement of Intent Ongoing management

Ongoing Management

Access to national research Intellectual property management Harmonisation of common processes Portfolio oversight, investment data Knowledge management Extension PC implications

Early benefits

National R, regional D&E Agreed national strategies Teamwork & collaborative culture More strategic engagement New broader governance arrangements More comprehensive national oversight Focus on future capability Large coalitions of specialists More stable funding arrangements New funding models Better defined roles for jurisdictions System evolving more freely

CCRSPI case study

Background First strategy developed, outbreak of peace to

make it work With a strategy, all partners endorsed ongoing co-

ordination Initially managed by LWA, now transitioned to UM

Achievements a national RDE strategy supporting reports on emissions trading and adaptation knowledge

gaps the development of whole of PI RDE sector submissions to

Government enquiries audit of climate research projects coordinated the development of three national programs on soil

carbon, soil nitrous oxide and enteric methane commissioned cross-cutting research projects hosted numerous industry or topic specific workshops to raise

awareness and understanding facilitated exchange of information between partners successful bid for Primary Industries Adaptation Research Network

(PIARN).
