Research priorities for the Northern Territory 2008-15
Backing Territory Research is a statement of research priorities to guide Northern Territory Government investment and decision making in research and innovation.
Backing Territory Research was facilitated by the Northern Territory Research and Innovation Board through a process of survey and stakeholder consultation. This led to the development of the three research themes - Strong Communities, Economic Development, and Sustainable Environment.
The research priorities, although not prescriptive, provide a strong sense of direction and will assist in meeting the challenge of facilitating industry participation in research outcomes and emerging opportunities. This will be more targeted in the future with the articulation of a clear and shared sense of our key priorities for research and innovation and their contributions to Territory growth and development.
