On 15 June, 2024 we mark 17 decades of promoting and advancing science in Victoria. From our first days we have worked to develop the knowledge base of communities, governments and industries, and to understand the unique nature of Victoria’s climate, coastlines, landscapes, plants and animals by sharing and exploring expertise in science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine (STEMM).
The Royal Society of Victoria and Inspiring Victoria are delighted to congratulate the eight Victorian recipients of major grants in support of events for National Science Week in August 2024! Many of this year’s projects support diversity and inclusion in science, allocating grant funding from $2,000 to $20,000 for individuals, groups and organisations across the nation.
Brendan’s recently completed science degree in animal biology stems from a deep interest and passion for wildlife and conservation. He is co-founder and President of the Emerging Scientists Network, a collective of RSV student members devoted to fostering connections, knowledge exchange, and opportunities for current undergraduates and recent graduates from Victorian universities.
