2006 Eureka Prize for Scientific Research

The Australian Museum Eureka Prizes are a unique partnership between government organizations, institutions, companies and individuals committed to celebrating the vitality, originality and excellence of Australian science. Presented annually by the Australian Museum, the prizes reward excellence in the fields of Research & Innovation, Science Leadership, School Science and Science Journalism & Communication.

Established in 1990 to reward outstanding achievements in Australian science, the Eureka Prize are Australia's most comprehensive national science awards. Each year, over 70 eminent experts come together to form 19 separate judging panels that collectively assess entries from across Australia. The Judges are expert representatives from a variety of disciplines and work in universities, schools, the media, research institutes, industry, science centres and government departments.

Collectively, they are the “Who's Who” of Australian science, science communication and education.
