The CSIRO Book 2025–26

What we do, how and why we do it, and the impact we deliver. By our scientists and experts.

 

We work with industry, government and the research community to turn science into solutions across six research areas: Energy and Minerals, Food and Fibre, From Wonder to Discovery, Nature, One Health and Tech Economy. We also steward research infrastructure on behalf of the nation and provide an important connecting role between science and society.

You can read more about CSIRO in the first edition of The CSIRO Book. It has been written by the scientists and experts of CSIRO, describing the full range of our research portfolio, including how we approach our work, our collaborators and the reasons our research matters for Australia. This is the first attempt to consolidate the breadth of our work at CSIRO and the book will evolve over time.

One of the purposes of sharing the book broadly is to invite your feedback and questions.
