The Australian Academy of Science offers two types of opportunities for scientists. Our honorific awards recognise outstanding contributions to the advancement of science at the early, mid and career levels. Our funding opportunities support scientists to undertake research projects as well as travel and lectures at a national and international level.
Nominations for the Academy's honorific awards for scientific excellence close 1 May 2023.
