Track record in bringing Marine Science focus
Strategic focus Collaborative partnership network WAMSI model National impact/delivering outcome Reasonable integration of
biophysical Starting to impact decision making Strong in biophysical Go to place for staff Govt/political
support Independent check on research
delivery 5 year funding Intergration point Strategic approach Enhance collaboration Has potential to be flexible Quality of research
Tension between funding horizon & need for flexibility
Long term focus + long term funding
New tech adoption Constraints of funding Social cultural and economic
connections International engagement Infrastructure lacking Marine technology under-utilised WA lacks single integration point Management costs of integrated
priority setting Long term funding certainty
Strengths Weaknesses
