The Royal Institution of Australia (RiAus) is an independent charity established expressly to advocate for science. We are among this nation’s few remaining independent science voices and its last independent science publisher. We believe that science matters. We have an opportunity to use science as a path to the future for our children, our manufacturers, and our businesses, to stay competitive on a global stage.
RiAus produces Cosmos, Australia’s last locally produced print science magazine, and the daily independent science news site cosmosmagazine.com. Early in 2021 we launched the weekly science news e-publication Cosmos Weekly, which is dedicated to science’s role in the issues of the day.
Perhaps the most important thing we do at RiAus is provide free science teaching resources for schools around the country. The resources aim to support STEM teaching and are mapped to the Australian National Curriculum (v8.3). The Education platform is supported by the South Australian Department for Education.
