The Australian Institute of Physics invites cultural, political, business and industry organisations to consider how you might use Quantum Year as you plan your activities for 2025. 

In this second Melbourne Quantum briefing during the AIP Congress in Melbourne, we invite you to join the Australian Institute of Physics, thanks to RMIT University, our Gold University Partner in Victoria.

Event 1

Date: Tuesday 3 December

The Australian Institute of Physics (AIP) has crafted a three-part vision for the Quantum Year, tailored to the Australian context.

Quantum Year will:

• Educate - Reveal and explain the wonders of quantum science and its impacts on our lives today and into the future.

• Inspire - Ignite the nation's curiosity about the beauty and promise of the quantum world and inspire people of all backgrounds to pursue careers in science and technology.

• Celebrate - Celebrate worldwide achievements in quantum science and technology, spotlighting Australia’s pioneering leadership in this endeavour.

Find out how your organisation can be involved, and help us create conversations across Australia about the impact of quantum science and technology, past, present, and future, on every aspect of society including science, culture, politics, industry, philosophy, even sport.
