Those who attended:

materials with interstate colleagues.
The awards included:

afternoon teas, 1-3 May;
- a formal dinner on 2 May
with Fellows of the Academy and an informal dinner with young researchers

The awards were open to Victorian

merit. Selection criteria included the applicant's interest and involvement
in classroom teaching related to the symposium topic, their contributions
to the profession of science teaching and their commitment to disseminating
to colleagues the information gained at the symposium.
