From astrophysics to brain research, drones, agritech and industrial biotechnology Queensland is at the forefront of scientific innovation. 

Every day, our internationally-renowned leaders in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) are applying their expertise to ensure economic prosperity and enhance community wellbeing.

Despite this progress, men continue to outnumber women in STEM industries.

The 2019 Queensland Women in STEM Prize recognises the valuable contribution of Queensland women working in STEM careers.

Three cash prizes of $5,000 are available:

  • Jury Award presented to the most meritorious applicant, as determined by a panel of esteemed judges
  • Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Jury Award presented to the most meritorious Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander applicant, as determined by a panel of esteemed judges
  • People’s Choice Award presented to the applicant with the highest number of public votes.

This state-wide competition is open to early to mid-career women working in STEM careers whose practice has the potential to benefit Queensland.

Previous winners are feeding the world through sustainable livestock production; establishing new manufacturing industries and advancing medical science through drug discovery and improved understanding of immune responses.
