2021 SA Science Excellence and Innovation Awards

Tonsley Innovation District will host the 2021 SA Science Excellence and Innovation Awards on Friday 26th of November in the Main Assembly Building (MAB) Town Square. Last year’s winners include Micro-X and Flinders University’s Medical Device Partnering Program both residing at Tonsley.

The SA Science Excellence and Innovation Awards showcases the critical importance of science, research and innovation to the development of industry and society as a whole.

The Awards provide a remarkable opportunity to recognise the work of inspiring Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Medicine (STEMM) leaders and teams working in research and education institutions, schools, industry and the community.

The Awards are a significant occasion in South Australia’s science calendar and are recognised as the premier science showcase event highlighting the diversity of scientific endeavour and research in this State.
