Australia has a comprehensive plant biosecurity system, with the federal government responsible for pre-border (e.g., off-shore compliance) and border (e.g. import inspections) activities, while state governments undertake a variety of post-border activities (e.g., post-border surveillance, management of pest incursions, and regulation of pests) designed to reduce exotic pest arrival and establishment. Once an exotic pest has established and spread, its management, like that of endemic species, becomes the responsibility of the land manager. There has been a growing understanding among plant industries of the need to be more engaged in post-border biosecurity activities, including resourcing and undertaking early-detection surveillance and contingency planning. Here we summarise Australia’s broader plant biosecurity system along with current, forest-specific biosecurity surveillance activities. We then introduce a proposal for a forest biosecurity partnership between the federal gove

Scientists across Norwich Research Park institutes are part of a major integrated UK research-industry programme led by The Alan Turing Institute, seeking out the best talent in AI and data science, developing bioscience leaders and supporting the UK economy.
The £600,000 Fellowship programme is funding six fellows to support life science researchers from the Earlham Institute, the John Innes Centre, Quadram Institute and The Sainsbury Laboratory. Each fellow has been paired with a project that could benefit from data science approaches.
The esteemed fellowships are funded through The Alan Turing Institute s AI for Science and Government Strategic Priorities Fund award and a strategic award from the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (UKRI-BBSRC) to the Earlham Institute and John Innes Centre.
