2009 Award Dinner

Memorable, terrific, enjoyable, wonderful and professional are a sample of the words guests used to describe the 2009 Australian Museum Eureka Prizes Awards Dinner.

The "who's who" of Australian science came together again to celebrate the fantastic achievements of our finalists and winners, and to also reflect on the last 20 years of Eureka.

With 920 people in the room this annual event has become the largest national celebration of Australian science, with possibly the most eclectic of audiences. This year living legends, industry leaders, seasoned journalists, young researchers, policy makers, distinguished scientists, philanthropists, school students, science enthusiasts and an astronaut came together to celebrate and reflect on the achievements of Australian science.

Looking ahead to 2010.....
