During our flagship event, 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.
On Thursday 4 September, ‘The National Science Summit: are we ready to face the future?’ will explore the findings of Australian Science, Australia’s Future: Science 2035, the Academy’s examination of the capabilities Australia requires to meet our national ambitions.
Event partnership opportunities are now available for Science at the Shine Dome 2025. These opportunities position your organisation alongside the Academy to celebrate excellence in Australian science.
Partnering with the Academy for Science at the Shine Dome 2025 offers a diverse range of benefits, including complimentary registrations, powerful networking and collaboration opportunities, and brand exposure.
Please contact Lisa Crocker, Events and Outreach Manager for more information or to set up a time to discuss these opportunities. Tailored and specialised packages are also available. Please contact us to discuss your ideas for a partnership package that suits your objectives.
The event artwork has been designed by Leah Albert for the Australian Academy of Science.
