Science at Shine Dome

Each year the Australian Academy of Science rewards scientific excellence. Awards are made to early-career researchers under 40 and to career researchers for life-long achievements. Some awards are offered biennially.

The Academy sponsored a teacher from each state and territory to attend its annual Science at the Shine Dome conference in Canberra. The conference activities included the New Fellows seminar, awards presentation, education workshop and annual symposium. The title of the 2008 symposium was Dangerous climate change: Is it inevitable?

The awards were open to primary and secondary teachers. Selection was based on merit.
