CELEBRATING SCIENCE IN 2022
Science at the Shine Dome attracts a large and diverse national and international audience, offering boundless networking opportunities with Academy Fellows, Chief Scientists, Nobel Prize winners, early- and mid-career researchers, government representatives, politicians, media, science--associated organisations, and the science interested general public.
2022 is a special year, as we come together in person at the Shine Dome for this event for the first time since 2019. The event will be hybrid, so audiences can join us in person in Canberra or from anywhere in the world, online.
You are invited to join us to celebrate science in 2022.
