Setting priorities for publicly funded research
The CSIRO Priorities Method is a way to rank and display research priorities for publicly funded research. This paper describes the development and evolution of the method that was employed in CSIRO throughout the 1990s and, since that time, in several other research organisations in Asia and Europe. It comprises three elements: a framework, a process, and a results screen, and has been used for priority setting at a national, organisational, pro…

CSIR and Australian industry
The primary function of CSIR, founded in 1926, was to promote primary and secondary industries in Australia.

By the end of the century, external pressures for industry engagement had receded as macroecono…
