It\u2019s perhaps the most important aspect of tackling lacklustre commercialisation.<\/p>\n<p>The research culture of many Australian universities revolves around a mindset of publish or perish. This culture motivates the pursuit of PhDs to further academic knowledge. The focus ultimately prioritises publishing research over producing products and services that solve real-world problems.<\/p>\n<p>The various global rankings of universities and the role of research in those rankings plays a key part in this mentality. A high global ranking enhances prestige, which in turn attracts students, so the logic goes. As a result, academics are encouraged to pursue both quality (highly ranked journals) and quantity (number of papers) in research.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/UniMelb?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@unimelb<\/a> is the top university in Australia in our 2021 World University Rankings <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/cOCV4gzWZX\">https:\/\/t.co\/cOCV4gzWZX<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/THEUniRankings?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#THEUniRankings<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/thSLsvblx7\">pic.twitter.com\/thSLsvblx7<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 World University Rankings (@THEworldunirank) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/THEworldunirank\/status\/1301233431699886081?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 2, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The most consequential impact of the Morrison plan may simply be the disruption of the publish-or-perish culture. The industry-linked PhDs, for example, would force often unwilling partners \u2013 industry and academia \u2013 to overcome cultural differences and work together on tackling problems.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, there should always be room for blue sky research. However, more links with industry can make both the universities and individual researchers more oriented to practical solutions and commercial realities.<\/p>\n<p>The Trailblazer scheme will create common ground for different stakeholders to work on mutually agreed goals. This process can nurture faith and confidence in each other\u2019s abilities, leading to more productive practice-driven research.<\/p>\n<p>The creation of a standardised IP framework may also help universities, particularly smaller ones with less administrative resources. The challenges of navigating the complex process of commercialisation can stymie collaboration with industry.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Will this plan work?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The Morrison government plan\u2019s proposal to change academic culture is an important step. But its success will depend on how effectively it tackles a mindset that underlies the publish-or-perish culture in Australian universities, and the intentions of the researchers themselves.<\/p>\n<p>It would be a blunder to treat the diverse academic fraternity as one homogeneous group. Academics can have varying levels of motivation, some intrinsic and others extrinsic, that could drive them to become either a pure researcher or research-based entrepreneur.<\/p>\n<p>The increased funding should be appreciated and will surely create incentives for universities to join hands to produce commercial products. But bringing about a change of heart is perhaps the first and more difficult step. The success of the government\u2019s plan depends on it.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Author Bios: <\/strong>Jared Mondschein is a Senior Research Fellow, US Studies Centre at the University of Sydney and Rajat Roy is Associate Professor, Bond Business School at Bond University<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the past few years, the Morrison government has made A$2 billion funding commitments to everything from the\u00a0critical minerals and rare earths industry\u00a0to\u00a0bushfire recovery.
