We seek to understand the impacts of new and emerging science and to provide advice on their application or regulation. This area is always evolving as new technologies continue to change the way we live.
Our Synthetic Biology Future Science Platform is positioning Australia to play a role in one of the fastest growing areas of modern science so that we can understand global developments and, where appropriate, contribute to advances in areas including healthcare, industrial biotechnology, biosecurity, agriculture and food research.
The pace of change of emerging science and technology is creating complex issues for societies and their decision makers. Our research looks at the interface of science and technology with society to ensure that emerging science domains can proceed responsibly and deliver positive impacts for society.
ECOS features some of our latest research and how it is providing the science behind sustainable development and management of the environment.
