2014 Eureka Prizes open
The 2014 Eureka Prizes are open for applications.
Established in 1990 to reward outstanding achievements in Australian science and science communication, the Eureka Prizes are presented annually by the Australian Museum.
This year, 15 prizes will reward excellence in the fields of research and innovation, leadership and commercialisation, science journalism and communication, and school science.
Each prize is judged by a panel of qualified individuals and the prizes will be presented at a gala award dinner in September.
Nominations for the 2014 prizes are open until 2 May.
