Inquiry into Research Training and Research Workforce Issues in Australian Universities
The House of Representatives Industry, Science and Innovation Committee has announced an inquiry into the contribution that Australian universities make to Australian research training, and the challenges those universities face in recruiting, training and retaining quality research staff.
This inquiry "focuses on current university research training programs and some of the challenges universities face in this area. This includes the adequacy and effectiveness of current research training schemes, the factors that determine whether new graduates pursue a career in research, and the opportunities for career advancement for research graduates and staff” (from the Inquiry Media Release, available below).
