Heralded as the ‘Oscars of Science’, the Australian Museum Eureka Prizes celebrate excellence in the fields of scientific research and engagement. In honour of these outstanding achievements, the Australian Museum is hosting the Eureka Talks Series.

On the second Saturday of each month, join us for conversations with Australian Museum Eureka Prize winners, finalists and other science leaders, as they bring us up to date on the developments, challenges and innovations in their specialist fields of Climate, Health and Science Communication. This fascinating series will expand your knowledge and spark your curiosity.

After each talk, continue the conversation over afternoon snacks in the Australian Museum's Hintze Hall. Drinks will be available for purchase.
