Summary
The Australian Institute of Policy and Science started in 1932 as the Australian Institute of Political Science (the name was changed in 2006). It is an independent, non-partisan, not-for-profit organisation that promotes engagement in science and science policy. Public forums are regularly held. The Tall Poppy Campaign was initiated in 1998 to recognise Australia's outstanding intellectual achievers, especially in scientific endeavours, and to encourage younger people to pursue scientific careers. Under the Campaign a number of awards are made. The Florey Medal recognises significant lifetime achievements of an Australian biomedical researcher in biomedical science and/or human health advancement. Tall Poppy awards are made to younger researchers. Since 1932 the Institute has published Australian quarterly (now titled AQ: Australian quarterly) which aims to provide in-depth policy analysis.
