Young Tall Poppy Science Awards

The Young Tall Poppy Science Awards were created in 1998 by the Australian Institute of Policy and Science (AIPS) to recognise and celebrate Australian intellectual and scientific excellence and to encourage younger Australians to follow in the footsteps of our outstanding achievers. The awards have made significant achievements towards building a more publicly engaged scientific leadership in Australia.
