Find the best science events and make the most of your time this month in Melbourne. From music to pets and more, we have the biggest event range and best discovery experience, there's something for everyone.

With Melbourne being a global hub for biotechnology and drug development, this full-day Pre-Clinical Symposium aims to bring together researchers, startups, technology transfer professionals and industry partners to share experiences, gain new perspectives and strengthen capabilities in navigating preclinical translation.
Join us for a seminar to explore the latest advancements and applications of RNAscope, a cutting-edge multiplex RNA ISH technology.

PITCH26xVelos is a curated innovation pitch event showcasing bold ideas with the potential to improve prevention, diagnosis, monitoring, systems and treatment.

Running Times: Doors - 7:00pm Start - 7:30pm Finish - 9:50pm Please note, all times are approximate and subject to change.
Discover the basics of vision, what can go wrong, and how new technologies are reshaping the future for people with vision loss.
Discover how robotic surgery is transforming theatres, enabling safer, less invasive and more personalised care for patients and clinicians.
Unlock the Power of RNAscope. Discover advanced applications of RNAscope technology. RNAscope applications across Neuroscience, Oncology, Immunology, Developmental Biology, and Cell & Gene Therapy. Multiomic RNA-protein co-detection for simultaneous visualisation of RNA and cell-specific protein markers. Insights into disease pathology through multiplex detection of target markers.
John Warner is one of the founding minds behind Green Chemistry - the international transformation to make everyday products safer by design. In this talk, inventor and educator John Warner shares how scientists are learning to design safety directly into materials at the molecular level. Through stories from industry, academia, and real-world innovation, he shows how this shift is already transforming the way products are made. Rather than limiting progress, this approach opens the door to entirely new kinds of innovation—where performance, cost, and safety can all coexist. The result? A future where sustainability isn’t a trade-off—it’s built in.
Applications of nanostructures span many fields - renewable energy, electronics, textiles, food technology, environmental science, and medicine. Understanding the mechanics of these structures is essential, as it enables us to optimise their performance. In this talk, we will explore the geometries of nanostructures and examine how these geometric features influence the mathematical models used to describe and predict their behaviour.

Explore how the design decisions we make today shape the healthcare experiences of tomorrow. Planet Innovation extends a rare opportunity to step inside its innovation and manufacturing centre for an immersive exploration into how designers create world-leading healthcare products. Building on the success of our sold-out 2025 Melbourne Design Week open-house event, this year’s program responds directly to the 2026 theme, Design the world you want, by examining the legacy created through human-centred design and how we evolve to deliver a planet-centered design in MedTech.

Biomaterials could significantly reduce carbon emissions in the construction industry. If it was that straightforward, surely everyone would manufacture them. What are the barriers and how can they be overcome? As an Architect, Isabella created a podcast to genuinely engage with this question, interviewing Australian manufacturers of bio-based construction materials. These interviews focused on the regenerative nature of the materials and processes, fusing design, science and technology. This exhibition continues the thread of a solutions-focused, practical approach to specifying and coordinating biomaterial usage in building projects. Materials will be on display alongside helpful information and explanations. The materials exhibition will be open from 10am with a Susty Spec launch party from 6pm onwards.
