The interdepartmental committee on science, technology and innovation is currently finalising a strategy on STI to 2013 and this will be presented shortly to the Cabinet sub-committee on STI, which I chair. The implementation of this new strategy in a whole-of-Government manner is a complex and demanding task, which will be linked with the further refinement of the over-arching co-ordination and governance structures for STI, put in place by the Government towards the end of 2004, including proposals relating to the appointment of a chief science adviser.
