Are you a young scientist passionate about communicating your research?

The CRC Association is inviting young scientists to submit a 30-second video about their research with the major prize of a trip to Canberra to present their work in May at Australia 2040, the annual conference of the Cooperative Research Centres Association.

The five best entries will receive a trip to Canberra with airfares, transfers, conference registration and all social events; $1,000 cash; and the opportunity to give a five minute presentation on their work at Australia 2040 for the chance to win $5,000. Applications close Thursday 26 February 2015.

Further details and the entry form are available at https://crca.asn.au/ecr2015/. Contact the CRCWSC Science Writer Steve Pogonowski at steve.pogonowski@crcwsc.org.au if you need advice or help with your application.
