The Contribution of the Higher Education Sector to Australian Research and Development

The Contribution of the Higher Education Sector to Australian Research and Development During the last two decades the higher education sector has accounted for over one quarter of all research and development expenditure in Australia. A review of empirical and case study research in this area indicates that, despite a growing body of literature, surprisingly little work has been undertaken on the actual contributions of the higher education sector to Australian R&D. This paper aims to present a review of R&D expenditure trends within Australia and explore the contribution of the higher education sector to such research. It further highlights the type of research conducted and the source of funding for the research. Research and development is vital to the advancement of knowledge and thus the contribution of the higher education sector is of great importance. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Australian Journal of Education SAGE

Abstract

During the last two decades the higher education sector has accounted for over one quarter of all research and development expenditure in Australia. A review of empirical and case study research in this area indicates that, despite a growing body of literature, surprisingly little work has been undertaken on the actual contributions of the higher education sector to Australian R&D. This paper aims to present a review of R&D expenditure trends within Australia and explore the contribution of the higher education sector to such research. It further highlights the type of research conducted and the source of funding for the research. Research and development is vital to the advancement of knowledge and thus the contribution of the higher education sector is of great importance.
