For the 24-hour economy, this funding presents an opportunity to create science-inspired experiences that activate precincts, attract audiences and bring people together outside traditional business hours. Think evening talks, light and technology installations, science-themed festivals, public demonstrations, immersive experiences or collaborations between science, arts and culture.
Projects that foster partnerships between communities, industry and research organisations are encouraged, as are new and innovative approaches to audience engagement.
