Through public diplomacy with a focus on science – ‘science diplomacy’ – we can draw on Australia’s strengths in science collaboration, research, technology, innovation and expertise to build relationships, raise Australia’s profile and advocate for our national interests. 

International collaboration and partnerships are fundamental to building science and research capability. Australia has a strong track record collaborating with international partners to strengthen our national and global science and research systems.
