Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples are the oldest continuous cultures on Earth. The wealth of knowledge they have amassed over 65,000 years has continued and growing relevance to modern science and its discoveries.
In this six-part hybrid-format webinar series from the Australian Academy of Science (AAS), you’ll hear from prominent First Nations Australians about how the intersection of Indigenous knowledges informs our understanding of topics including climate change, agriculture and astronomy.
Join Indigenous knowledge-holders, researchers, innovators and industry experts to explore the power of combined ideas.
