Eureka Prizes

Annual prizes awarded by the Australian Museum

The winners of the 2015 Australian Museum Eureka Prizes together on stage at the Sydney Town Hall

The Eureka Prizes are awarded annually by the Australian Museum, Sydney, to recognise individuals and organisations who have contributed to science and the understanding of science in Australia. They were founded in 1990 following a suggestion by science journalist Robyn Williams.[1]

As of 2024, there are 19 prizes awarded across four categories and a total of $A$180,000 in prize money. The four categories are Research and Innovation, School Science, Science Engagement and Leadership.[2]
