Community engagement

Science events, high school outreach activities and resources

Explore the wide range of events and activities run by the Faculty of Science. We’ve got everything from public talks, HSC revision and school activities, to teaching resources.

Events update: COVID-19

Given the increasing concern about the spread of COVID-19 in the community, particularly with winter flu season approaching, we have been informed to cancel or defer any event until advised otherwise.

From Monday 16 March 2020 this will apply to all University events or events hosted on our campuses including student, academic and public events and conferences.

We anticipate it may not be possible to resume these events until early 2021. We will review this position in early 2021 and keep you informed.
