The 精东视频 applauds the announcement today by Federal Education Minister Jason Clare that he will accept all 10 recommendations of the review of the Australian Research Council (ARC) Act (2001).
Academy President Professor Chennupati Jagadish said the reforms will create a far more robust and research-oriented system.
鈥淟imiting the unrestricted use of ministerial discretion to veto properly assessed and reviewed research proposals is a particularly significant reform and something that will bring great relief to our nation鈥檚 research community,鈥� Professor Jagadish said.
鈥淲hen the integrity of Australia鈥檚 research system is compromised by perceived or actual political interference, there are real costs for the research sector and indeed for the nation 鈥� by eroding trust and damaging the relationships researchers have with industry, the Australian community, and international partners.
鈥淭he establishment of a board as the accountable authority for the organisation will strengthen and modernise the governance of the ARC.
鈥淎ppointees to this board must have extensive experience in the research system.鈥�
The Academy thanks Professors Sheil, Dodds and Hutchinson for their work on this review and the Education Minister for comprehensively responding to the review.
We look forward to working with the ARC and the Australian Government to ensure the amendments to the Act are appropriate.
