The Royal Institution of Australia is an independent charity dedicated to connecting people with the world of science through news, videos, events and educational resources.
Vision
Our vision is of an inspirational resource centre for the wonders and achievements of Australian and the world’s scientific discoveries, old and new: to inspire the young, satisfy the curious, explain the baffling and ask the impossible.
Science makes the ordinary extraordinary. It’s in everything we do, whether it’s finding a solution to global hunger, building a better house or baking the perfect loaf of bread.
We believe that a positive future starts with a good scientific education and that every type of career is enhanced by a lifelong commitment to knowledge with integrity.
We want to spark in all people a desire to be science literate and to make informed decisions about their lives based on rigorously sought and tested evidence.
We understand that the world faces unprecedented systemic challenges and that a scientific approach to solutions holds the key to a sustainable future.
Mission
We believe that science is the key to a better future.
We aim to excite people about that future by communicating significant scientific thinking and discoveries from around the world to the Australian community and promoting Australian ideas and innovation to a global audience.
We craft the highest quality news reports, fact-based stories and education resources to inspire, inform and fascinate, and deliver them through an evolving multimedia platform including print, websites, social media, film and events.
