Science at the Shine Dome 2021

Traditionally, Science at the Shine Dome is an annual three-day event in May where Australia’s most influential scientists gather at the Shine Dome in Canberra to celebrate science and to honour outstanding achievements in science.

The Academy will deliver Science at the Shine Dome in a new format in 2021 to accommodate COVID-19 restrictions while engaging new audiences online. Science at the Shine Dome will include online presentations by award recipients, a symposium exploring the theme Science and the Public Good, and online presentations from new Fellows of the Academy.

All events can now be viewed online.
