Find the best science events and make the most of your time this month in Brisbane. From music to pets and more, we have the biggest event range and best discovery experience, there's something for everyone.
This Upskilling Event will train government and industry stakeholders in the capabilities and applications of quantum technologies for decarbonisation. Through tutorials delivered by leading experts from PsiQuantum and the Queensland Quantum Decarbonisation Alliance (QDA), participants will gain a practical understanding of quantum computing and quantum sensing, and their potential to support the transition to a low-emissions economy.
A casual event for doers and lovers of science to network and engage in games, activities and discussions to help exercise our sci-comm skills!
A hands-on workshop where science, creativity, and energy collide. create your own custom orgonite pyramid, tower buster, and more in an intimate session limited to just 10 participants. Book now to avoid missing out! Tea, coffee, and lunch are included. If you have any dietary requirements, please feel free to bring your own food so you’re fully comfortable throughout the day.
Symposium on small-molecule drug discovery offering practical insights, real-world translation, and a pitch competition. Registrations open at 8:30 am, symposium starting at 8:50 am. This full-day event is designed to support researchers working in early-stage small-molecule drug discovery, with a focus on practical insights and real-world translational pathways. The program has been developed with input from Early and Mid-Career Researchers (EMCRs), ensuring the content addresses challenges and critical questions encountered along the drug discovery pathway. Sessions will examine key principles that shape the early drug discovery pipeline, including what makes a strong drug discovery target, scientific and strategic considerations of different drug discovery strategies, case studies highlighting critical scientific capabilities, and more. All attendees will have the opportunity to network with peers and experts and also unwind by joining a fun drug-discovery themed board game session after the symposium. A pitching session will be held during the lunch break, with 12 EMCRs selected to present their research to a panel of experts and peers. The top three presenters will each receive a travel support prize of up to $3,000. Submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) form by 22 April 2026, 5pm (AEST). Register now to secure your place.
Join us at this month’s BrisScience as Dr Millicent Smith reveals how climate-resilient crops may be hidden in nature's genetic diversity. Climate change is turning up the heat on global food production. As temperatures soar and droughts intensify, can we still grow enough food to feed everyone? One solution lies in the genetic diversity within crop species themselves. Join Dr Millicent Smith as she reveals how we can harness novel diversity by screening thousands of plants using cutting-edge phenotyping tools to identify climate champions.
A 2-hour workshop exploring the ecology and reproduction of one of Australia’s most unique mammals, the short-beaked echidna. The workshop will cover: Echidna ecology (activity, diet, ecosystem engineering), Reproduction and breeding season, Current research in South East Queensland, Introduction to the Echidna Detectives program, How you can get involved. Join wildlife ecologist Dr Kate Dutton-Regester for a 2-hour workshop exploring the ecology and reproduction of one of Australia’s most unique mammals, the short-beaked echidna. Learn about current research underway across South East Queensland, including camera trapping, scat collection and more. The session will also introduce the new Echidna Detectives citizen science program, which trains volunteers to monitor echidna signs and contribute to long-term conservation research. This is a disabled-friendly event. Loos on site. Sign-on will be required for insurance purposes.
“From Neuroscience to Autonomous Vehicle Navigation: Adventures in Research, Robotics and Forging a Research Career,” Nature has long inspired breakthroughs in robotics. From ants navigating deserts to the neural mechanisms in the human brain, biological systems outperform today’s most advanced machines in remarkable ways. In this talk, Professor Milford will explore how insights from neuroscience and natural navigation behaviours have shaped cutting-edge autonomous vehicle technologies over the past two decades. Beyond the science, this session offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at the realities of research, highlighting key breakthroughs, ongoing challenges, and the journey of building a career in a fast-evolving interdisciplinary field.
Join us for a stargazing session and discover constellations, planets, and celestial surprises above the heritage-listed Mayes Cottage. Expect a relaxed, curiosity-fuelled night of sky-spotting, shared discoveries, and plenty of 'whoa, look at that!' moments. Light refreshments included.
