What happens when an influential Australian changemaker meets a trailblazing scientist? To find out, join the Australian Academy of Science for the 2026 Public Speaker Series.
Each event in the series will pair a notable public figure with a top scientist, researcher or innovator. Together with ABC Canberra's Lish Fejer, they will explore the big issues shaping our future on topics such as STEM education, health and wellbeing, food security, climate change, and more.
Expect boundary-pushing ideas, sharp insights into challenges, and fresh perspectives on what matters.
Audiences, both in person and online, will have the opportunity to engage with speakers in the Q&A sessions at each event.
Their public speaker series is for everyone! Students, professionals, academics, policymakers, lifelong learners, and those simply curious about how science is shaping the future.
