The Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute (AMSI), the Australian Mathematical Society (AustMS) and the Statistical Society of Australia (SSA) welcome the opportunity to make a submission to this Review of the Australian Research Council Act 2001.
As the lead organisations representing the disciplines of mathematics and statistics in Australia, we are well placed to make comment and provide advice pertaining to mathematical sciences research and its applications. The following observations and recommendations are the result of consultation with academic research staff in the mathematical sciences, aligned with SSA, AMSI and AustMS – including its Divisions ANZIAM (Australian and New Zealand Industrial and Applied Mathematics) and ANZAMP (Australian and New Zealand Association of Mathematical Physics).
