1-4 SEPTEMBER 2025
Celebrating our nation's remarkable scientific talent
Science at the Shine Dome is the Academy's flagship event, where 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 2025 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.
The National Science Summit: are we ready to face the future?' will launch one of the most ambitious policy efforts in our history - Australian Science, Australia's Future: Science 2035. The Summit will explore the findings of this study, including gaps in our science capabilities, and the reform required to put Australia on track to meet our national ambitions.
