Location: Yukeembruk Village Hall on ANU Campus

The full program for the day is below, participants are welcome to come for one or all sessions.

The Australian National Centre for the Public Awareness of Science (CPAS) was established 30 years back. To mark the occasion, CPAS is organising a Symposium to showcase how the Centre’s research and research collaborations are contributing to the task of tackling many of the critical challenges of our time. Across a range of cases including energy transitions, socio-technical systems and emerging technologies to misinformation, human health and planetary health, the Symposium aims to stimulate the imagination and spark dialogue around pathways for innovation, impact and public engagement. CPAS presenters will speak for about 10 minutes each, maximising time for panel discussion and audience questions.

The distinguished science communication scholar, Prof Bruce Lewenstein (Cornell University) will deliver a keynote address to conclude the day’s proceedings. Discussants for the day include Tatiana Bur, Brad Tucker and more.
