Awards

Central to the purpose of the Academy is the recognition and support of outstanding contributions to the advancement of science.

The honorific awards were established to recognise distinguished research in four categories: early-career scientists up to 10 years post PhD; mid-career scientists between eight- and 15-years post PhD; career awards for lifelong achievement; and the most prestigious category, premier awards, which recognise researchers of the highest standing over a career of any length.

These awards shine a light on researchers who are making outstanding contributions to science and progressing the advancement of science in Australia.

The awards recognise remarkable achievements in research fields including Earth sciences, biology, physics, mathematics, chemistry, experimental biomedicine, genetics, and more.
