The Tasmanian National Science Week Seed Grants 2019 are now CLOSED. If you have received a grant, please upload your event to be included in the printed program which is distributed state-wide. Please ensure you also upload the event to the National Science Week website. New users will need to create an account and previous users can log in using existing credentials.
