Inspiring Australia
Inspiring Australia is the national strategy for public
engagement with science, technology and innovation and plays
a key leadership role in shaping the Australian Government’s
vision for a society engaged in and enriched by science.
Using a ‘National Framework – Local Action’ approach,
Inspiring Australia delivers effective, high-impact and “Knowledge, ideas

networks extend the reach of existing activities, identify
gaps and leverage non-Government support for science
engagement and advocacy.
Working with the country’s science and research agencies,
education providers, industry and business and the cultural
sector, Inspiring Australia’s purpose is to raise the profile
of scientists and STEM opportunities. By increasing public
engagement with science, Inspiring Australia creates
opportunities for Australians everywhere to get involved in
STEM.
In New South Wales, Inspiring Australia’s focus is to connect
science and engineering researchers to big audiences.
Hundreds of statewide partners collaborate as Regional
Science Hubs to inspire communities with memorable and
engaging events that showcase scientific and technological
discovery. The welcoming programs they deliver encourage

Consolidating
In six years, with the support of the
New South Wales and Commonwealth
Governments and host institution the
University of Sydney, Inspiring Australia NSW
has created a statewide network that includes
22 Regional Science Hubs and an array of
valuable partnerships with museums, venues,
industry groups, cultural associations and
festivals.
921 organisations are involved in this low-
cost program model where each dollar of
investment leverages at least three times its
value in partner funding as well as in-kind
support.
• In 2018, Commonwealth program funding
of $317,000 leveraged $1.2 Million additional
funding as well as in-kind support.
• 297,000 people attended 779 events
that were supported or initiated
by Inspiring Australia NSW.
• Thousands more were engaged

Sydney Science
Festival
A standout example of how Inspiring Australia NSW fosters collaboration to improve
impact is Sydney Science Festival, a partnership framework established in 2015
to amplify the reach of National Science Week across Sydney. Now produced
by the Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences, with funding, engagement and
advocacy support from Inspiring Australia NSW, the Festival provides audiences in
the Greater Sydney Region with access to welcoming science experiences in parks,
museums and libraries, on university campuses and at prestigious venues.
Through building citywide collaboration, Inspiring Australia NSW has increased
opportunities for community members to connect with Sydney’s vibrant research
culture and be inspired by cutting edge science. Universities, museums and libraries
celebrate science alongside iconic venues including Sydney Opera House, Taronga
Zoo, Art Gallery of NSW, City Recital Hall, Sydney Olympic Park, Centennial Park, the
Royal Botanic Garden and the Australian Botanic Garden at Mount Annan. Tech Expos
pop up in shopping centres and the Indigenous Science Experience at Redfern
explores science and culture through activities led by Indigenous elders and students
alongside non-Indigenous scientists.

National framework-local
action
Promoting the importance of building the
country’s STEM capacity in a rapidly evolving,
global innovation system requires national
effort on many levels – particularly at the
grass roots. Inspiring Australia’s NSW Regional
Science Hub network offers a low-cost,
sustainable response to this challenge.
Leveraging three times the value of funding
provided by the State and Commonwealth
Governments, Regional Science Hubs provide a
focal point for local program activity.
“Science is of limited
worth without
community engagement:
if we want science
to be supported and
appreciated in Australia,
it is critical we talk
directly to the community
about the burning issues
of the day.”
Professor Edward C. Holmes,
Australian Laureate
9 Fellow,
The Royal Society (UK).Collaborating The New South Wales network enables diverse communities to explore scientific issues, build scientific literacy and access STEM knowledge. Inspiring Australia NSW’s engagement strategy is underpinned by Regional Science Hubs that involve at least three partners working together to present local engagement experiences addressing STEM themes. NSW Science Grants provide funding that is matched by partner support and investment. This model builds a strong ecosystem while developing local skills and connecting STEM knowledge to diverse communities through creative and engaging public programs. With modest funding support, Regional Science Hubs achieve Inspiring Australia’s objective to promote pubic engagement with science, technology and innovation using a National Framework- Local Action approach: • Communities create, collaborate and participate in regional programs. • Scientists and technologists connect with a diverse public, improving their communication skills. • Memorable events build scientific literacy and encourage STEM careers. • Inspiring Australia funding supports enduring partnerships and builds capacity in STEM.

19Commercialising Inspiring Australia NSW brings science and technology into the Spark Festival of Australian startups, supported by Jobs for NSW. Inspiring Australia NSW’s 2017 Commercialising Research forum brought 40 science and technology researchers from Sydney’s universities, Data61 and the CSIRO together with venture capitalists and research-based startups to discuss what it would take to create more effective relationships between academia and industry. The 2018 Spin on Spinouts event at Sydney Startup Hub showcased companies developed though research-industry partnerships to commercialise knowledge created at CSIRO’s Data61. Participants shared experiences of cross sector collaborations with audience members keen to explore startup opportunities. In the regions, Science Hubs presents innovative STEM programs that have the potential to create commercial outcomes, including as part of National Science Week, citizen science projects, library programs, talks in pubs and clubs and activities created with the local startup community. Inspiring Australia NSW supported Australia’s first Regional Innovation Week held in the Bega Valley in 2016. The week-lomg festival saw entrepreneurs and technology enthusiasts join ecologists, schools and business leaders at a range of events designed to build digital skills and create jobs. Questacon’s Smart Skills team was on hand with free robotics and coding activities and a Sea Change StartUp Camp developed novel solutions to local challenges.

story of many centuries of floods through layers of
soil. Then, the audience was treated to a series of
