Science at the Shine Dome is the Academy’s flagship event, where Australia’s science sector will gather at the Shine Dome in Canberra – the home of Australian science – to celebrate science and to honour outstanding achievements.
Fellows elected in 2025 will sign the historic Charter Book, adding their name to the scientific greats of our nation, and delegates will have a unique opportunity to learn about the depth and breadth of Australian science from the nation’s best. We will celebrate the recipients of the Academy’s prestigious awards, and early- and mid-career researchers will have an unparalleled opportunity to network and forge new collaborations.
A full program of events is avaliable on our website: https://www.science.org.au/news-and-events/events
