Background

Established in 2004, SOLVE magazine informs the wider business and finance community about the cutting-edge research being undertaken in Australia by CSIRO and its partners.

Representing a snapshot of activity across various industry sectors (manufacturing, infrastructure, information and communication technology, minerals, oil and gas, transport, energy, health and food) SOLVE articles highlight innovations and achievements resulting from both CSIRO research, and also successful technology transfer.

Regularly featured are developments and outcomes from the National Research Flagship program. The program, one of the largest scientific initiatives ever mounted in Australia, is specifically designed to integrate and focus our national research resources on challenges of the utmost importance to Australia.

Activities

SOLVE magazine illustrates:

• the numerous ways CSIRO can contribute to the economic, social and environmental performance of Australian businesses and industry
• emphasises the importance of investing in research and development (R&D) and creating research and commercial partnerships.

SOLVE is produced and inserted into the Australian Financial Review four times per year (February, May, August, November) on a Monday and is also available from the SOLVE Online website.
