The Review of the National Innovation System (RNIS) Secretariat published their Green Paper on 9th September 2008 entitled ‘venturousaustralia – building strength in innovation’: www.innovation.gov.au/innovationreview.

The Green Paper will be followed by a White paper response from the Government later in 2008.

The workshops and roundtable meetings will be attended by a wide range of policy-makers, researchers and practitioners, key Departmental officials, review panel members, academics and administrators from ANU and other universities, industry bodies and relevant organisations.
