The Premier's Science Awards recognise and celebrate the outstanding scientific research and engagement taking place in Western Australia.
Now in their 22nd year, these awards have been given to more than 100 of WA's best scientists, STEM students, educators and engagement initiatives, recognising WA's significant talent and capability to solve local and global problems.
Science, innovation and technology are at the frontline of efforts to diversify the WA economy. Developing STEM skills will ensure that Western Australians are well-placed to take up jobs in new and emerging industries such as batteries and critical minerals, new energy and space.
Nominations are also open for the WA Science Hall of Fame, which was established in 2007 and recognises exceptional, lifelong contributions made by Western Australians to STEM.
Applications for the Premier's Science Awards and nominations for the WA Science Hall of Fame close at 10am (AWST) on Thursday 27 April 2023.
