On Wednesday November 1, participating scientists will meet their Parliamentary representatives. We need articulate scientists and technologists from around Australia to come to Canberra to give first hand accounts to Parliamentarians of good science, the opportunities this work creates, and how more of the benefits of research could be captured. The event was a success last year because of the involvement of our Member Societies. Ideally they will represent a cross-section of Australian science by gender, age and discipline. Participating scientists are responsible for their own transport and accommodation costs, sometimes with the support of their sponsoring Society.
Registration forms are below.
I look forward to seeing you in Canberra for this important event. There will be a short session to conduct formal business, and then discussion on other items. An agenda will be circulated. Observers are welcome. All participants are invited to a formal National Press Club lunch.
