Advance the Future of Research: Empower UWA’s Rising Stars

Since 2015, Rising Stars has showcased the brightest early career researchers (ECRs) at The University of Western Australia — spotlighting breakthrough science and building a valued community. To celebrate our 10th year, this signature event enters an exciting chapter in 2025, embracing a new, dynamic live crowdfunding format.

This evolution elevates Rising Stars into a platform for impact – one that offers a rare opportunity for exceptional ECRs to advance groundbreaking solutions that address complex global challenges in health, sustainability, technology, and beyond.
