ON April 3, Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Wilfred Madius Tangau launched “Science Outlook 2017”, a study undertaken by the Academy of Sciences Malaysia (ASM). This is a review and update of an earlier study, “Science Outlook 2015 – Action Towards a Vision”, which described the prevailing status of our science, technology and innovation (STI) infrastructure and processes.

The 2015 study clearly described our enduring and entrenched weaknesses in six strategic areas – STI Governance; Research, Development and Commerciali-sation (RD&C); STI Talent; Engineering Industries; STI Enculturation; and Strategic International Alliance.
