AUSTRALIAN SCIENCE MEDIA CENTRE

The idea to set up an Australian Science Media Centre (AusSMC) came from the Adelaide Thinkers in Residence program. Though independent from it, the AusSMC is based on the successful UK Science Media Centre that was established in London in 2002... The AusSMC was established as an independent, not-for-profit organisation in late 2005. The Centre is housed in the old Adelaide Stock Exchange building, refurbished and renamed the Science Exchange. The AusSMC is now one of eight international independent SMCs (UK, Australia, NZ, Canada, Germany, Taiwan, Africa and Spain)... - Proactive - The AusSMC is constantly 'horizon scanning' looking for situations where science can help clarify an issue.
