The Academy will sponsor a teacher from each state and territory to attend its annual Science at the Shine Dome conference in Canberra. The conference activities include the New Fellows seminar, presentations, education workshop and annual symposium. The 2010 symposium is titled 'Genomics and Mathematics'.
Those who attend will:
- learn about the latest research across a range of science disciplines
- meet and talk with renowned scientists and young researchers
- network with interstate education colleagues.
The award includes:
- registration for all Science at the Shine Dome events
- return airfares to Canberra
- accommodation for the nights of 5 and 6 May (also 4 May for awardees from Tasmania, Western Australia and the Northern Territory)
- a formal dinner with Fellows of the Academy and an informal dinner with young researchers
- lunches, morning and afternoon teas on 5-7 May.
A full program of events can be found soon at the teachers program page.
Applications close Monday 8 March 2010. Selected applicants need to arrange their own release from work, complete an evaluation at the end of the symposium, and provide a brief report by September 2010 on how they have disseminated information to professional colleagues.
