Serving science to thirsty minds

Not limited to your usual pint at the local pub, we deliver science stories of all sizes and flavours.

We aim to knock down stereotypes, build science appreciation and highlight the amazing science brewing in your own backyard.

Want to be part of the fun?

You can join our amazing team of passionate volunteers running Pint of Science Australia! Expressions of interest for local team volunteers are now open! We offer a broad range of volunteering positions across the organisation, including one-off on-the-night volunteers, festival-focused coordination roles, and year-round national positions which keep Pint AU going. 

We’re also welcoming expressions of interest from speakers who would like to share their research at next year’s festival. As self-confessed science enthusiasts, we love talking about science with everyone and want to be the spark that inspires people from all backgrounds to share and explore ideas passionately.

2026 Artwork 

Interdisciplinary science and collaboration are at the core of Australian research excellence. This is depicted by the union of diverse Australian animals embodying the six themes at Pint of Science events: Chemist Koala (“Atoms to Galaxies”), Earthy Echidna (“Planet Earth”), Doctor Dingo (“The Body”), Computer Croc (“Technology”), Mindful Magpie (“The Mind”), and Ruling Roo (“Society”). The central Pint of Science glass is filled to the brim by contributions from these different entities working together. Fine out more
