Sparking physics events around the country

摘要

One of the Australian Institute of Physics' experiments for Einstein Year was a seed grant program. Across Australia $37,115 seeded sixteen initiatives. Some recipients were individuals like ANU PhD student Melanie O'Byrne - her flowvis exhibition toured nationally and was seen by 100,000 people. Some grants helped our major research organisations reach new audiences - CSIRO ran a physics short film competition that was screened in 70 venues and reached 10,000 people.
