Professor Jean Bernard is the most distinguished haematologist in the world and the best known and most influential scientist in France. He is also a man of literary distinction, recognised by his election to the Academy francaise in 1975. He has been awarded the States highest honours and is a Grand Officer de la Legion d'Honneur and has the Grand Croix de l'ordre National du Merite. He has written 10 major books on science, philosophy and public affairs and published more than 1000 scientific papers. Professor Bernard has been responsible for the development of the cultural exchange agreement with the Australian Academy of Science and is a powerful advocate of Australian-French scientific relations. He has visited Australia on a number of occasions representing the French Academy at our 25th Jubilee celebrations. Many of Australia's leading clinical haematologists and scientists have studied in Jean Bernard's laboratories at the Hospital St Louis where some of the most important contributions to the treatment of leukaemic diseases in humans have been made.

Dr Björkman is distinguished in modern physiological plant ecology for his continuing innovative studies of leaf photosynthesis in relation to environment. Since 1970 he has worked closely with Australian plant scientists in desert, tropical, marine and agricultural systems to pioneer the most significant developments in this discipline. He has served as an influential member of US and International Committees dealing with research in plant, agricultural and energy sciences over the last decade.

Linfa Wang is globally recognised for his contributions to bat viruses and bat biology, and the successful translation of his discoveries into biomedical innovations that have helped combat viral outbreaks, from Hendra virus in Australia to the COVID-19 pandemic. Nicknamed “batman”, Wang has established bats as a new model system for understanding zoonotic viral diseases and for translating knowledge of the unique immune system of bats to better manage human medical disorders. His breakthrough research and biomedical innovations have informed public health policies at national and international levels, and Wang has served on multiple World Health Organisation (WHO) COVID-19 committees.

Gareth Mckinley has made outstanding contributions to viscoelastic fluid mechanics, understanding flow instabilities and stretching flows. His research group has developed novel instrumentation and customised rheological analysis techniques that have driven the field of rheometry for complex and soft fluids. McKinley’s instrumentation and testing algorithms are used across the fields of Australian science and engineering. McKinley’s freely distributed code for analysing Large Amplitude Oscillatory Shear Flow, now used at a large number of Australian universities and CSIRO, especially for characterising and distinguishing the non-linear rheological responses of different wheat flours. He has developed extensive relations with Australian science and scientists.
