Celebrating our nation’s remarkable scientific talent

Monday 9 – Thursday 12 September 2024

Science at the Shine Dome is the Australian Academy of Science’s flagship event. Australia’s science community gathers at the Shine Dome in Canberra to celebrate science and to honour outstanding achievements in science. It is also a valuable networking opportunity for Academy Fellows, early- and mid-career researchers, government representatives, politicians, media, science associated organisations, and the science-interested general public.

This year, Science at the Shine Dome will be a four-day event, held from Monday 9 to Thursday 12 September. Fellows elected in 2023 and 2024, and award recipients from 2023 and 2024, will all be recognised across the event. The event will also celebrate the Academy’s 70th anniversary.
