新冠疫情影响下的澳大利亚科技创新现状

The Current State of Australian Science and Technological Innovation Under the Impact of COVID-19

高校是澳大利亚科研主力,但在新冠疫情冲击下,边境关闭导致留学生减少,以致科研交叉补贴减少,经费短缺,科研人才不足。为加速疫情后经济社会复苏,澳大利亚政府加大对科技创新的支持力度,促进科技成果商业化,强化供应链建设和理工人才培养。澳大利亚科技创新实力在短期内尚未明显下滑,但在国际科技合作方面,澳大利亚愈加强调“相同价值观”原则。

Universities are the main force of Australia’s research, but the impact of COVID-19 and the closure of border have led to the reduction of international students, whose tuition fee partly pay for the research, resulting the shortage of universities’ research fundings and research talents. To accelerate the economic and social recovery after COVID-19, the Austrlian government increased the grants for science and technology research, promoted the research commercialization, and strengthened supply chains and the education of STEM talents. In the short term,Australia’s strength in science and technology doesn’t decline significantly. In the area of international science and technology cooperation, it increasingly emphasizes the principle of “shared values”.
