A Strategy for the Royal Society of Victoria

Over the course of 2015 and 2016, the Royal Society of Victoria embarked on a process to define its mission, role and purpose in a 21st century Victoria. Building on a proud tradition stretching back more than 160 years, we evaluated the needs of our contemporary science community, the status of science and science education in our State, and the rich legacy of the sciences in the story of Victoria.

Following a long process of consultation surveys, members’ forums, committee meetings and AGM presentation, we are delighted to present “Concord & Progress: A Strategy for the Royal Society of Victoria,” setting out the high-level aspirations that will inform our cyclic strategic and operational planning and guide priorities for development and growth.
