Description

Welcome! We're the Australian National Centre for Public Awareness of Science or CPAS!

The CPAS at ANU was the first science communication centre in Australia and is now the most diverse of its kind in the world.

We are global leaders in our field, developing methods to encourage informed decisions about big scientific issues.

The Centre’s mission is to encourage a confident democratic ownership of modern science nationally and internationally by increasing science awareness in the community, fostering public dialogue about science, and improving the communication skills of scientists.

Through research-led education our students become skilled communicators who can engage people with the science, technology, or medical information that is most relevant to them.

Our research investigates the ways science is being communicated in the public arena, new ways to excite the public imagination about science and methods to encourage informed decisions about scientific issues that concern us in the 21st century.

We are global leaders in our field, developing methods to encourage informed decisions about the big scientific issues.

We offer a wide range of study options, including undergraduate and postgraduate courses. We have an extensive PhD program, and provide short courses for students and professionals.

Our partnerships extend across Africa and Asia, and we are world-renowned for the Shell Questacon Science Circus.

We regularly host workshops, public events and seminars. Sign up to our mailing list at cpas.anu.edu.au or contact us to collaborate.
