Victorian innovations: making a world of difference

Victoria is home to many talented scientific researchers and innovators. Their work not only makes a difference to the environment, our quality of life and the way we live and work, it inspires the next-generation of science students.

Science for the Future provides a glimpse into some recent research and development projects in Victoria. Some are in the early stages of development. Others are already in the market place.

Each of the projects will make a difference to Victoria, some to:

the economy, creating jobs and export dollars
the environment, conserving resources or energy or assisting endangered species
the way Victorians live and work or the way we manage disease

Teachers may wish to use these projects in their classroom teaching as examples of research being undertaken by Victorian scientists.
