The Science & Innovation Directorate is responsible for promoting the importance of innovation, science & technology to South Australia’s economic, environmental and social future. We promote and support the State's research & development priorities within government, academia, industry, and community sectors. We also ensure that leading strategic policy is developed in these sectors for economical and social benefit to the State. We achieve this through involvement in activities including STI10 and Constellation SA, and through initiatives of the Chief Scientist for South Australia.
