Science at the Shine Dome 2026


Join us in 2026 to celebrate science!

During our flagship event from 15 to 17 September 2026, 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 2026 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.

Registrations will open in June 2026.
