Review of national innovation system Members' input sought On 22 January 2008, the Minister for Innovation, Industry, Science and Research, Senator Kim Carr, announced a Review of Australia's national innovation system to be conducted by an expert panel chaired by Dr Terry Cutler. The terms of reference for the review are broad-ranging, recognising that innovation and creative problem solving involve not only the drivers of productivity and competitiveness within firms and industries, but also better ways to deliver public and community services. The Review will look at how to promote a culture supportive of new knowledge and fresh ideas, and also at how to better support the diffusion and take up of new technologies and innovative processes across industries and the community. The Review will also develop national priorities for innovation, and AIIA has been identified as a key stakeholder in this process. From 3 March, open stakeholder consultations are being held across Australia in each capital city, led by Dr Cutler. AIIA will represent all members in this process, develop a White Paper for submission, and put forward your views and ideas. If you have ideas or opinions that you would like communicated the panel, please contact Ron Forrester by email or on (02) 6281 9408. Final submissions to the review are due by 30 April 2008.  |  2008 AIIA ICT Salary Survey available 6 March The AIIA Salary Survey is Australia’s most comprehensive survey of ICT industry salary rates and provides an accurate insight into the current marketplace.
