Summary

Based in the Centre for Transformative Innovation at Swinburne University of Technology, the CSIRO History Project examined the evolution of CSIRO since its formation in 1949 (as the successor to CSIR) and how this evolution reflected CSIRO's response over time to its changing external environment, including changes in the Australian economy and society, scientific disciplines around the world, and in levels of funding.
