National Science Week: Survive & Thrive
Share in, discover, and contribute to the excitement during National Science Week this August. The future is for everyone to create, and science is helping to build the future. So engage with science, and get involved in shaping our bright, collective future. Discuss, create and invent with us, because science is for everyone.
National Science Week is Australia’s annual celebration of science and technology, running each year in August.
Each year, over one million people participate in more than 2000 events across the country. These events attract a wide audience from children to adults, and citizen scientists to professionals, encouraging a broader interest in scientific pursuits, and inspiring younger people to be fascinated by the world we live in.
This celebration of science is your opportunity to contribute ideas, satisfy your curiosity, and learn about some of the many contributions of Australian scientists to the world of knowledge.
For this year’s National Science Week, Survive and Thrive brings you an open program across the State of Victoria to engage people of all ages with the world of scientific knowledge, with a focus on fun and discovery!
Whether we’re talking about people, organisations, or the relationship between humanity and the rest of the natural world, one thing holds true: we’re stronger together!
From major public institutions to grass-roots knowledge networks across Victoria, the program demonstrates the power of collective action: from public libraries answering a thirst for deeper understanding with their local communities, to neighbourhood houses and community groups conducting citizen science and promoting evidence-based sustainability practices.
This National Science Week, learn how you can use reliable knowledge to help our species, ecosystems and people to Survive and Thrive into the future.
A full list of activities in Victoria can be viewed on the National Science Week website.
Survive and Thrive is a series of community-focused events presented in collaboration between Museums Victoria, Royal Botanical Gardens Victoria, Zoos Victoria, Neighbourhood Houses Victoria, Public Libraries Victoria and the Royal Society of Victoria for National Science Week, produced by the Inspiring Victoria program.
