Welcome to our new website

Thank you for visiting the Australian Academy of Science online. If you’ve visited us here before, you’ll notice that our website has had a make-over. 

We’ve made some changes to help you get more easily to the information you’re looking for: you’ll see that, for example, you can now sort out which of our events you might like to attend—depending on whether you’re a scientist or a science lover. If you’re hoping to nominate someone for a medal, win a grant to stage a conference or to travel overseas and further your career, you’ll find all our opportunities for scientists in one place. You might be interested to learn about our wide range of school and public education programs and initiatives. And we’ve also brought together all the information about how the Academy is working to on behalf of science and scientists to support science through advising governments, setting strategy, representing Australian science overseas, improving gender equity in science and much more.

We’ve also worked with graphic designers and website user experience specialists to improve your experience while you look around the site: we’ve brightened up the colours and cleaned up the design, and we’ve made sure the site is responsive, which means you’ll find it easier to navigate regardless of the device you’re using.

Welcome to our new website. Please take some time to look around: we hope you like it!
