Eureka prizes for environment
Australia's awards for research into critical environmental sustainability issues, the Museum Eureka Prizes, have been launched for 2007.
Nominations for the $50,000 prizes can be made until 4 May, with organisers particularly requesting entries based around research into environmental and climate change issues.
This year has seen the introduction of two new awards:
- The IAG Eureka Prize for Innovative Solutions to Climate Change is designed to highlight outstanding work by an Australian individual, group or organisation that demonstrates a commitment to pursuing innovative solutions to the challenges of climate change.
- The British Council Eureka Prize for Young Leaders in Environmental Issues and Climate Change is awarded to a young Australian aged between 21 and 30 for scientific or technological leadership in responding to the challenges that threaten our environment and our climate.
Information on the other awards available and details on how to enter are able to be viewed at: www.australianmuseum.net.au/eureka.
