About

Many academics claim that Australian scientists have poor mobility in transitioning from academia to industry, but is this true? This project reviewed the current literature on scientist intersectoral mobility worldwide, and aimed to develop a theory behind why this lack of mobility is of particular concern in Australia. Finally, it proposed recommendations for universities to implement to address the problem.

You can read the results of the project on the Sandpaw blog here and at the Policy Forum blog here.
