The FNQ STEM Hub is inviting passionate scientists, researchers, academics and communicators to submit an EOI to present at the 2026 Bite- Sized Science event in March.

Last year's event was an amazing, sold out event that showcased the incredible science happening in our region.

This is a relaxed, supportive atmosphere, with an opportunity to network with our scientific community. Last year's presenters were a range of seasoned speakers and members presenting publicly for the first time.
