WELCOME Welcome to the 2012 Thomson Reuters Citation & Innovation Awards! Australia produces over 3% of scholarly and scientific research worldwide. However, in certain fields Australia’s world share is much higher from 4% to nearly 6%. These fields include environment and ecology, geosciences and space science. Not only is Australia contributing more in these fields, the citation impact of this research is 30-50% higher than world average. If we use patenting activity as an indicator of innovation, Australia showed a decline following the global financial crisis, but recent Australian Patent Office data indicates there has been an upturn in patent filings which may be a sign of a turnaround in innovation activity. Performance indicators based on publication, citation and patent data provide one perspective on research and innovation activity, however expert opinion will always help to complete the picture. Thomson Reuters is pleased to showcase some of our top performers in the industry and also bring together key players in the sector to address the theme of “how Australia is influencing the global research and innovation landscape”. We welcome our distinguished speakers to the event. Citation Award winners Professor Ove Hoegh- Guldberg, University of Queensland and Professor Colin MacLeod, University of Western Australia, will be providing an academic perspective on Australia’s role and performance in innovation. Dr Chris Roberts as CEO of Cochlear Ltd will be providing the viewpoint from a corporate perspective. This will be followed by the lunchtime address, which will be a moderated discussion with Professor Brian Schmidt, Nobel Laureate for Physics and previous Thomson Reuters Citation Award winner and Dr Alan Finkel, Chancellor of Monash University and President-elect of the Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering. In addition, today is an opportunity for Thomson Reuters to recognise Australia’s excellence with twelve Australian researchers and seven Australian organisations selected to receive awards in recognition of their outstanding contribution to research and innovation. Details on the award winners and methodology can be found in this program. We thank you for being part of this prestigious event and look forward to the ongoing dialogue in the innovation ecosystem.
