Translational Design: Product Development for Research Commercialisation

澳大利亚在基础研究方面处于世界领先地位。然而，在将研究转化为新的市场创新方面，中国是最差的发达国家之一。这个项目探索了设计作为研究、商业化和创新生态系统的关键组成部分的新角色。它希望为设计师如何更好地融入面向商业成果的跨学科研究提供新的见解。预期成果包括一个框架和工具包，用于范式转换设计方法，将基础研究转化为在澳大利亚商业化和制造的产品。这应该会带来更大的经济效益，建设澳大利亚在新市场创新方面的主权能力。

Australia is a world leader in fundamental research. Yet, ranks as one of the worst developed nations for translating research into new-to-market innovation. This project explores a new role for design as a critical component of research commercialisation and innovation ecosystems. It expects to contribute novel insights into how designers can be better integrated into interdisciplinary research directed towards commercial outcomes. Expected outcomes include a framework and toolkit for a paradigm-shifting design approach to translating fundamental research into products commercialised and manufactured in Australia. This should provide enhanced economic benefit, building Australia’s sovereign capability in new-to-market innovation.
