Science at the Shine Dome is the Australian Academy of Science’s annual flagship event. It is a three-day event where Australia’s most influential scientists gather at the Shine Dome in Canberra to celebrate science and to honour outstanding achievements in science. It is a time for researchers from all disciplines and career levels to come together to present, share, network and collaborate.

2022 is a special year, as we come together in person at the Shine Dome for this event for the first time since 2019. The event will be hybrid, so audiences can join us in person in Canberra or, from anywhere in the world, online.

Registrations will open in July/August.
