World Science Festival Brisbane 2025

World Science Festival Brisbane will celebrate its 10th anniversary with more than 200 sessions delving into a range of topics, from groundbreaking scientific discoveries to engaging discussions and interactive experiences.

Commemorating 100 years since the initial development of quantum mechanics, this year’s festival embraces the theme of ‘Infinite Awe’ with programming responding to questions larger than our humanity and tackling some of the pressing questions of our time, including First Nations knowledges, space exploration and the future of quantum.

Taking place at iconic venues across the city, including Queensland Museum, the Cultural Precinct, South Bank Piazza, Fish Lane and throughout Greater Brisbane, the festival will showcase some of the most brilliant minds in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). The festival will also include special programming in Ipswich, with the opening weekend featuring a two-day ‘Robots and Rocketry’ event.
