The National Survey of Research Commercialisation (NSRC), which has been conducted since 2000, collects data on the commercialisation activities of publicly funded research organisations such as universities, medical research institutes and government research agencies.
The survey includes data relating to research expenditure, licensing, research contracts and consultancies and research training.
Further information about the survey (including other data sets and notes on the survey methodology) is available from the National Survey of Research Commercialisation page of the Department of Industry, Innovation and Science website: http://industry.gov.au/innovation/NSRC/Pages/default.aspx.
