It also oversees the implementation of the state's Investing in Science action plan.[1] Prior to June 2015 the council was known as the Premier's Science and Industry Council, and prior to that, the Premier's Science and Research Council.[2] The council was established during the first term of the Rann Government in June 2002 "to advise the government on strategies for boosting local science and research capabilities and improving levels of innovation."[3][4]
