Professor Tim Cavagnaro<\/a>, Pro-Vice Chancellor, and Dean of Graduate Research, advocated for South Australia to secure a leadership position in critical technologies by investing in capability building, fostering deep collaboration between industry and research, and ensuring that innovation is inclusive, sovereign, and human centred.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
