Horizon Scanning Series
We live in a time of rapid change; change that is driven by developments in science and technology and challenged by our capacity to adapt in the present and prepare for the future.
Commissioned by the Australian Government National Science and Technology Council and Australia’s Chief Scientist, Horizon Scanning reports present independent and timely analyses to guide decision makers through the decade ahead.
Horizon Scanning reports by the Australian Council of Learned Academies (ACOLA) draw on the deep disciplinary expertise from within Australia’s Learned Academies to analyse the future, navigate change and highlight opportunities for the nation. As interdisciplinary studies, ACOLA’s reports include economic, social, cultural and environmental perspectives to provide well-considered findings that inform complete policy responses to significant scientific and technological change.
This project has been supported by the Australian Government through the Australian Research Council (project number CS170100008); the Department of Industry, Innovation and Science; and the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet.
ACOLA collaborates with the Australian Academy of Health and Medical Sciences and the New Zealand Royal Society Te Apārangi to deliver the interdisciplinary Horizon Scanning reports to government.
