Launch of the Encyclopedia of Australian Science and Innovation
About our event
The Encyclopedia of Australian Science and Innovation is a web-based collection of information about the people and organisations that have been involved in science and innovation in Australia for over a century.
It is a gateway to the history and archives of science, technology and innovation in Australia. It has a deep history and has influenced similar historical resources both here and around the world. In 2021, the Encyclopedia project joined Swinburne's Centre for Transformative Innovation and was re-branded to reflect its enhanced focus on innovation.
This launch celebrates the re-branding, new home and those who are contributing to its new life.
