Leaders in Innovation Series: Oceans & Atmosphere

Jun 10, 2020

With the world on lockdown, the team at CSIRO US are using this opportunity to catch up with some of our favorite CSIRO scientists all around the world. Meet Britta Denise Hardesty, Principal Research Scientist at CSIRO.

‘Work from Anywhere’ Is the New Office

Jun 10, 2020

Going to an office to work was a defining part of everyone's life. It's been our home-away-from-home up until recently. Susan Lucas-Conwell shares her leadership approach during this unprecedented time.

May 27, 2020

We have signed a three-year partnership with SVG Ventures-THRIVE, establishing a robust pipeline of Australian FoodTech and AgTech early stage startup.

Dr Cara Doherty and Dr Xavier Mulet discuss MOFs design

Leaders in Innovation Series: Materials for Energy and the Environment

May 13, 2020

In our second installment of interviews with CSIRO Scientists and Leaders in Innovation, Megan Crocker chats with Materials for Energy and the Environment’s team leader Xavier Mulet to discuss Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs), CO2 capture, and the applications of their cutting edge work.

The Role of Innovation in Times of Disruption

May 12, 2020

Open innovation was coined by Henry Chesbrough in his book “Open Innovation: The new imperative for creating and profiting from technology,” in which he discusses three forms of innovation: user innovation, cumulative and distributed.

Data Cubes unlocking Earth observation potential

May 7, 2020

Petabytes of decades-long Earth observation data are now available globally, and efficiently extracting usable information for decision making can be a challenge. Data cubes address this challenge by linking the highest quality image datasets to powerful computational and analytics systems.

Developing higher-quality, higher-strength, lower-cost carbon fibers

May 4, 2020

Our researchers sat down with CompositesWorld, a leading US publisher providing news and information on what’s happening in fiber-reinforced composites manufacturing, to talk about the next generation of carbon fiber.

[Music plays and images flash through of an eye and then what the eye looks like right down inside]

Narrator: A catalyst, it creates a reaction.

[Images flash through of swirling clouds, an explosion, an eye under a microscope and a light globe]

It creates change faster.

[Images flash through of a digital map of the globe and the globe morphs into the CSIRO logo]

CSIRO is Australia’s innovation catalyst.

[Images flash through of a researcher looking through a microscope, the inside of a piece of equipment, people in offices, a female looking up and a rocket blasting off]

We bring Australia’s innovation ecosystem together to transform Australia’s big challenges into global opportunities.

[Images flash through of the globe with interconnecting lines across it, a piece of equipment, a wind farm, a human skull diagram with a yellow eye socket, and interconnecting lines on a map]

We collaborate with our partners across industry, government, research and community to make it all happen.

[Images flash through of a researcher looking at a microscope slide, a piece of equipment and a researcher looking through a type of goggles]

We seek and seize what’s next on the horizon.

[Images changes to show an aerial view of land and then the image changes to show a male operating a drone over a field]

We create solutions through science.

[Image changes to show a hexapod moving across the ground and then the image changes to show an aerial view looking down on a multi solar panel site and the camera pans around the site]

CSIRO is Australia’s national science agency.

[Images move through of a profile view and then facing view of a male moving along and then the male looking at data on a very large screen and then the image changes to show a wind farm]

We wake up each morning because we’re making tomorrow and the future better, better for people, for business and for the planet.

[Images move through to show an aerial view of two cars moving through a satellite dish array, one of the satellite dishes rotating around, a crater type mountain and a formula being written on a window]

We believe change is good but transformation is better and innovation is where it starts.

[Images flash through of pinpoints of light which morph into many science description words and then morph into a network of lines encasing a sphere, then into an eye, and then into the CSIRO logo]

The CSIRO, Australia’s innovation catalyst, your innovation catalyst.

[Music plays and the image changes to show the CSIRO logo in the foreground of a night sky]

Your innovation catalyst
