World Science Festival was founded in New York in 2008 by celebrated physicist and science author Professor Brian Greene and award-winning broadcast journalist Tracy Day. In 2016, Queensland Museum Network established World Science Festival Brisbane, the only international extension of the New York event.
World Science Festival Brisbane and Queensland continue the traditions of this internationally renowned festival while curating an innovative program that addresses some of the biggest social, cultural and scientific questions facing Queenslanders today.
World Science Festival Brisbane has reached more than 1 million people in person and online. The festival is a major event in Queensland’s tourism calendar, attracting inter- and intra- state visitors, as well as audiences from around the world.
