Extended Info

About the Australian Museum Eureka Prizes: The Australian Museum Eureka Prizes are Australia's premier science awards.  

Often likened to the "Oscars of Australian Science",  the Eureka Prizes reward excellence in the fields of scientific research, leadership & innovation, communication & journalism and school science.

The Eureka Prizes culminate in an Award Dinner where the "who's who" of Australian science get together to celebrate, network and party.

The Eureka Prizes are proudly presented by the Australian Museum.
