To foster and recognise excellence in Victoria's early career scientists, the Royal Society of Victoria has established four prestigious competitive prizes open to Victorian students in their final year of doctoral candidature, in all areas of the Biomedical & Health Sciences, Biological Sciences (Non-human), Earth Sciences and Physical Sciences.

Following assessment of applications across the four categories, we will select eight PhD finalists to present the culmination of years of research in ten short minutes. Join us to hear about the latest science from Victoria's high achieving early career researchers.

The competition will be streamed online with the support of the Inspiring Victoria program, and is sponsored in 2024 with the generous support of the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency and Geoscience Australia.
