MEMBERSHIP

Membership of The Royal Society of Queensland is open to any person interested in the pursuit of evidence-led knowledge. Membership is an avenue for sharing in the work of scientists and expanding personal horizons. In an era of politically motivated ‘alternative facts’, the Society affirms the existence of ‘real facts’ that accord with the laws of nature and seeks to expand the boundaries of this knowledge.

The Society offers:

• a generalist perspective on science, not limited to any one discipline or to the natural sciences;
• an ability to network across disciplines, between academics and practitioners, and between scientists and the public;
• a tradition grounded in the Enlightenment with its emphasis on rational enquiry uncompromised by superstition, commercial interest or politics;
• a platform for interpreting scientific knowledge for a lay or policy audience;
• a bridge between science and policy by drawing upon the experience of senior associates who have had an extensive career in politics or public service;
• capacity to translate science independent of partisan or commercial interest or disciplinary insularity.
