Judging the Eureka Prizes

The Judges 

Australian Museum Eureka Prize judges are expert representatives from a variety of disciplines and work in universities, schools, media, research institutes, industry, science centres and government departments.

Collectively, they are the "Who's Who" of Australian science, science communication and education.

The Australian Museum is deeply indebted to those individuals who freely give of their time and expertise to assist in prize judging.

The Australian Museum expresses its thanks to the following individuals who make up the 2010 Australian Museum Eureka Prizes Judging Panel.
