Improving the way we deliver our science
These changes are aimed at making it easier to do business with CSIRO and easier for staff to deliver science that makes a difference to people, industry and the planet.
From July 2014, CSIRO will have three lines of business:
- National facilities and collections
- Impact science – including a new Flagship portfolio, and
- Services – including education, publishing, infrastructure technologies, SME engagement and CSIRO Futures.
Dr Dave Williams will be Executive Director National Facilities and Collections and will retain responsibility for the Information Management and Technology function.
Changes are aimed at making it easier to do business with CSIRO and easier for staff to deliver science that makes a difference.
