Using aggregated datasets and graphical narratives, The Future in Black & White identifies the underlying forces that shape research at Australian universities. It then places a series of data-driven bets, foreshadowing how university research will change in the years ahead.
The report covers a host of issues, including the business model for research, the role of government and business, the competitive landscape (nationally and globally), shifting cost structures and practices, and the technological, political, and intellectual drivers of university research.
This hugely innovative and powerful report has been designed to help universities and policymakers see beyond the chaos of the present and prepare for what's coming next.
