Dr. Mark Mellett:

I might add that on the issue of leveraging where expertise may already exist, I am pleased the chief executive has led some engagement with industry. We have an agreement that we will have those regular engagements where there is a significant level of expertise and also with academic institutions in order that we will not be sitting in a silo, closed off to other perspectives. In future, there may be opportunities for public-private efforts in how we progress our work. At the end of the day, the decision is staying with the competent authority, on behalf of the Government. Collaboration is one of the key principles I have always adopted, along with innovation, and from a board perspective I will always encourage that. I often say, including in my previous job, that we need to learn the language of others. As an institution, MARA does not and will not have an ego. It will be completely engaged with other institutions, other marketplaces and the environmental community with a view to ensuring it has the best access to knowledge. If it needs to co-create solutions, it will do just that.
