Science and Technology

The world is changing at a rapid pace, with huge implications for anyone interested in the intersection between technology and humanity. If we want a fairer world as well as a more advanced one, we will need innovative minds drawn from the broadest possible spectrum of society driving change.

Your support for our Science and Technology funding opportunities will help Australia’s young minds collaborate to tackle humanity’s toughest problems.
