August brings National Science Week, seeing many across our community celebrating science in their lives and recognising the brilliant work of scientists.
Thank you for partnering with us for Science at the Shine Dome 2024
Next month, Australia’s science community will gather at the Shine Dome in Canberra to honour outstanding achievements in science.
Science at the Shine Dome brings together researchers at all career levels, policymakers and journalists to celebrate excellent Australian science, which would not be possible without the generous support of our partners.

Science at the Shine Dome: Monday 9 to Thursday 12 September 2024
Science at the Shine Dome is the Australian Academy of Science’s flagship event.
Australia’s science community gathers at the Shine Dome in Canberra to celebrate science and to honour outstanding achievements in science. It is also a valuable networking opportunity for Academy Fellows, early- and mid-career researchers, government representatives, parliamentarians, media, science associated organisations and the science-interested general public.
Registrations are now open. Visit the event website for more information and to register.
Please note capacity is limited. Registrations will close at 11.59pm AEST on Sunday 1 September, if not sold out prior to this date.
The Academy’s Library and Archives hold one of the most significant histories of Australian science collections in the world, with many thousands of rare and unique items.
These intellectual treasures—often hidden behind locked doors—reveal the development of scientific thinking responsible for shaping our modern world.
Through meticulous digitisation of archival materials and recording conversations with Australian scientists, we are preserving history whilst providing future generations with access to critical insights and discoveries.
Now in our 70th year, we invite you to support our 2024 appeal to help bring many more of these stories and our collections to life.
Through preserving Australia's scientific legacy your donation will support:
Digitisation of the archives: to collect, manage and preserve items of scientific importance that hold intrinsic value in Australia’s history.
Recording conversations with Australian scientists: in these interviews, outstanding Australian scientists talk about their early life, development of interest in science, mentors, research work and other aspects of their careers.
We invite you to read some of our recently digitised material online.
We hope you will consider a gift to support and preserve Australia’s scientific legacy and help us to bring more of our collections and conversations online, for everyone.
