Solving the greatest challenges

Our purpose is to solve the greatest challenges through innovative science and technology. Our strategy provides more detail on the six greatest challenges we are working with partners to solve, as well as the underlying capabilities and areas of science we invest in to support this work.

How we deliver

Our four objectives ensure CSIRO is supported to solve the challenges and play a vital role in Australia’s innovation ecosystem. Our objectives are executed through strategic priorities and key initiatives that drive our performance.

Our people bring our strategy to life every day and are our most valuable asset. By living our CSIRO values, they are at the heart of realising our vision to create a better future for Australia.
