澳大利亚科学机构获得了233万澳元的提振,但就业削减和资金不足问题依然存在。 Australia's science agency gets $233M boost, but job cuts and underfunding concerns persist.

澳大利亚国家科学机构CSIRO尽管在两年内增加了2.33亿美元的资金,旨在支持AI、关键矿物、气候适应和生物安保方面的研究,但仍面临持续的不确定性。 Australia’s national science agency, CSIRO, faces continued uncertainty despite a $233 million funding boost over two years, aimed at supporting research in AI, critical minerals, climate adaptation, and biosecurity. 虽然政府呼吁投资是对科学的承诺, 但员工和工会表示, 无法解决研究成本不断上升及长期资金不足的问题。 While the government calls the investment a commitment to science, staff and unions say it falls short of addressing rising research costs and long-term underfunding. 多达350个裁员,包括将近一半来自环境研究的裁员,仍然是一个令人关切的问题,尽管政府作出了保证,但没有明确解决受影响的角色问题。 Up to 350 job cuts, including nearly half from environmental research, remain a concern, with no clear resolution on affected roles despite government assurances. 批评者警告说,资金增加不会扭转科学开支相对于经济产出的下降趋势,并敦促持续投资以留住人才并保持国家研究能力。 Critics warn the funding increase does not reverse the decline in science spending relative to economic output and urge sustained investment to retain talent and maintain national research capacity.
