National Science Week

The Unsung Hero Awards of South Australian Science celebrate people who have not yet had the recognition they deserve for their contributions to science or science communication in South Australia.

Every year, the SA National Science Week Committee organises a special event. This year, Dr Karl is visiting Adelaide on August 10 for night of science that will appeal to the whole family.

The Unsung Hero Awards of South Australian Science nominations are now open and close at 5pm on Friday 31 May 2019.

Perform your Science featured early-career researchers and PhD students who joined forces with a range of artists to develop a series of live performances. From the life-cycle of a parasitic, caterpillar-munching wasp, to an emotional exploration of how we humans deal with ageing and frailty, Perform your Science brought to life ground-breaking, scientific research in exciting and innovative ways.

The grant round for National Science Week 2019 has just opened and closes Tuesday 20 November.
