Predicting the unpredictable: Investing in science and technology for the next decade

From discovering Earth-like planets to revolutionising medical imaging for earlier diagnostics – we are aiming for high-impact outcomes at COMBS. A key step in achieving this is bridging the gap between researchers and end-users to align our research with society’s biggest future challenges.

Building trust between scientists and policymakers for evidence-based decision making

As a researcher, how do you help politicians create good policy, make good decisions and invest effectively in the future of our nation? At COMBS, we’re equipping our members with the skills to become trusted advisors, guiding evidence-based policies for all Australians.
