ABC partners with science group

The ABC is partnering with science-based charity The Royal Institution of Australia.

The partnership will bring original Australian science content from Australia’s Science Channel to ABC platforms including iview, ABC Science and ABC Education.

David Anderson, Director Television said: “The ABC is proud to be partnering with such a distinguished and reputable organization as The Royal Institution of Australia to provide ABC audiences with distinctive content that bolsters Australian conversations about science.”

Bradley Abraham, Chief Executive Officer and Director of The Royal Institution of Australia said: “We are excited to be working in partnership with the iconic ABC who share our vision and commitment to highlight the relevance of science in everyday life and to build Australia’s future by creating conversations that inspire the next generation.”

ABC audiences will be both entertained and inspired by the content suite which includes video, audio and science news from leading minds in Australian universities and institutions. A selection of content can already be seen on iview which features some of the best science features, shorts, documentaries, animated and experimental films from filmmakers around the world who have participated in SCINEMA – the largest science film festival in the southern hemisphere.
