The Australia 2020 Summit was a convention, referred to in Australian media as a summit, which was held on 19–20 April 2008 in Canberra, Australia, aiming to "help shape a long term strategy for the nation's future". Announced by the new Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, the summit drew limited bipartisan support from Brendan Nelson and the opposition Coalition parties, and ran as 10 working groups of 100 participants. 1002 delegates attended the summit to discuss ten "critical areas". Ideas and proposals were invited from all members of the community, and an official web site was set up to accept submissions. The 10 critical policy areas were: # Productivity—including education, skills, training, science and innovation # Economy—including infrastructure and the digital economy # Sustainability and climate change # Rural Australia—focusing on industries and communities # Health and ageing # Communities and families # Indigenous Australia # Creative Australia—the arts, film and design # Australian governance, democracy and citizenship # Security and prosperity—including foreign affairs and trade == Participants == The summit was led by an 11-member steering committee, whose initial membership was announced on 26 February 2008. The committee played a key role in selecting the other participants, and each member led one of the working groups together with a government co-chair.〔 Since the initial announcement, Dr Kelvin Kong (Indigenous Australia) withdrew due to family health reasons, and Dr Jackie Huggins was appointed to replace him. On 14 April 2008, an additional co-chair, Dr Julianne Schultz, was announced for the Creative Australia stream. There were two additional late participants who had been granted special entry as winners of competitions and their names did not show in the original lists of participants. They both attended the Productivity Stream Agenda. Their names were Susan Roberts, TAFE Head Teacher of Child & Family Services from Taree who had won a national competition by Channel Nine〔("2020 Summit winner" ), ''Today'', Nine Network, 17 April (2008)〕 and Ernie Peralta, a university lecturer whose "Golden Guru" concept of business mentoring was later adopted in Queensland.〔("Ernie Peralta's golden gurus to share knowledge with young workers" ) by Emma Chalmers, ''The Daily Telegraph'', 22 April 2009〕 The members of the steering committee were as follows: 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Australia 2020 Summit」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
