2002 Australian Museum Eureka
Prizes
A woman can’t win a Eureka Prize if she is not nominated. Someone has to do that nomination.
The 2002 Australian Museum Eureka Prizes consist of an unprecedented 18 prizes
worth almost $180,000. Five of the prizes are being offered for the first time.
Entries close 15 May. Self entries and nominations are encouraged.
New prizes for 2002 are for lateral thinking by secondary students; research
in ethics; information and communications technology innovation; engineering
journalism; and health and medical research journalism. These join established
prizes for environmental and science journalism; environmental education
programs; industry commitment to science; critical thinking; promotion of
science; secondary school biological and earth sciences; engineering
innovation; biodiversity, environmental and scientific research; and science
book authorship.
Since their establishment, there has been a remarkable growth in the number, scope and value of the Eureka Prizes.
