Details
At CSIRO, Zoe led the development of the IC Global Platform, which currently included three key elements:
- Expert Connect: a publicly searchable database of Australia’s research expertise with more than 70,000 expert profiles from over 220 research organisations. Designed to boost industry-researcher collaboration, researcher profiles are automatically created by drawing on authoritative sources (including journal articles, patents and grants).
- Innovation Challenges marketplace: users put forward details of the problem they are looking to solve, with relevant experts automatically identified and encouraged to put forward an innovative solution.
- InnovationMap: an interactive, geographic visualisation of innovation related data. The map allows users to overlay multiple datasets to build up a rich picture of a particular region and observe how it evolves over time.
