Learn about some of the most recent scientific discoveries and accomplishments made by scientists from Western Australia.

The Royal Society of Western Australia (RSWA) hosts symposia and presentations that offer the chance to hear from and meet prominent scientists in their respective fields.

Topics have covered a spectrum from treetop studies of WA’s wedge-tailed eagles, to tell-tale signs of ancient mega-tsunamis that hit WA coastal areas, to the plant destroyer that is attacking native species in southwest WA, to the latest developments in protecting the marine ecosystems of the Kimberley region. All are welcome to attend symposia, presentations and other events.

RSWA members receive exclusive invitations to special events. For additional information on the benefits of membership, please refer to the Membership page. Students are eligible for discounted membership rates.
