As the Partnerships Lead for Data61 I'm responsible for developing a range of platforms designed to help connect researchers & industry. These include: Expert Connect (https://expertconnect.global/), Innovation Challenge marketplace (https://expertconnect.global/challenge/results) and InnovationMap (https://www.data61.csiro.au/Map). I'd be very interested to connect with anyone with relevant data (or who would like to make use of our data), and anyone who has an innovation challenge we might be able to help solve.

I also have a range of business interests that I'd be happy to connect with people about, including www.ecolour.com.au (non-toxic paint), and www.ethitrade.com.au (blockchain based provenance tracking for produce - currently working on tracking dragon fruit from Vietnam)

I provide advice and assistance to companies in relation to government incentives available (R&D Tax Incentive and grants). My extensive scientific educational background and research (conducted at universities and CRCs) experience equips me with the necessary capability to provide sound advice in relation to the eligibility of R&D activities to the R&D Tax Incentive as well as grants.

Would appreciate an opportunity to meet CRC representatives to explore the possibility of partnering with them to assist their industry partners.

I am also open to meeting with companies to provide advice on government incentives that may be available to them.

Mark Weaver and Damien Ellwood work for the Department of Industry Innovation and Science in the Growth Centre Policy Section. We have policy responsibility for Growth Centres (including objectives around increasing collaboration and commercialisation; and improving access to global supply chains and international opportunities for industry), and we are on the secretariat for the University Precincts Advisory Committee.

We are interested in identifying and communicating industry need for research and innovation (e.g. through the Growth Centres' Industry Knowledge Priorities); in improving the links between industry and researchers (e.g. through innovation precincts); and in local and regional business and innovation networks focusing on export opportunities.

DST Group is seeking opportunities to engage in collaborative research projects in the area of Defence. General areas in Defence we are looking to collaborate in include:

1. Sensors & hypersonics
2. Cyber
3. Medical Countermeasure
4. Quantum Technologies
5. Space Capabilities

7. Surveillance
8. Autonomous Systems
9. Material Sciences

As well as in our traditional domains of Maritime, Aerospace, Land.

Our research interests surround the role of both mental agility and cognitive confidence in effective decision making.

Under conditions of uncertainty, a person’s mental agility is important because it underpins the formation of quick and accurate judgments, leading to better decision-making. But cognitive confidence is what turns ability into action. As a person’s cognitive confidence increases so does the likelihood that they will act decisively on their judgments. That’s good when people have the ability to back it up, and not so good when they don’t!

In employment settings, the most common finding in our research to date is that a lot of people tend to over-estimate their abilities. The upshot of this is that many people are overconfident and may systematically make sub-optimal decisions because they act on biased beliefs about their true abilities. Our research has also identified groups of higher ability people who tend to under-estimate their abilities, and who may be affected by the "Imposter Syndrome".

We have also undertaken studies under a TechVouchers grant into the interaction of mental agility and cognitive confidence in academic achievement of primary school children. The academic team we partnered with at the University of Newcastle here in NSW, have now had three papers published on the results of the research.
