The Australian Institute of Policy and Science (AIPS) is an independent not-for-profit organisation founded in 1932. We work to:  

 

  • Increase public engagement in science and ensure people have a voice in decisions that affect them
  • Promote excellence in research, innovation and the promotion and communication of science
  • Inform and influence policy and policy-making through expert comment and input
  • Invest in a scientifically inspired, literate and skilled Australia that contributes to local and global social challenges

 

AIPS achieves its objectives through an extensive network of partners spanning universities, government, industry and community.

 
Tall Poppy Campaign
The Tall Poppy Campaign was created in 1998 by the Australian Institute of Policy & Science to recognise and celebrate Australian scientific excellence and to encourage younger Australians to follow in the footsteps of our outstanding achievers.

The Tall Poppy Campaign recognises the achievements of Australian scientists through the prestigious annual Young Tall Poppy Science Awards and biennial Florey Medal.

The Campaign's Tall Poppies Reaching Students Program engages the winners of Young Tall Poppy Science Awards in activities to promote study and careers in science among school students and the broader community.
