Supporting everyone in the world to get involved in shaping the future of human knowledge.
What is ‘Science for All’
‘Science for All’ is a charity that supports everyone in the world to get involved in shaping the future of human knowledge.
What we do
We recognise that many of the challenges facing the planet today do not have solutions which fall into categories such as ‘public health’, ‘environmental studies’ and ‘education’. We recognise that knowledge takes many forms - this includes people who are subject area experts, people with traditional, indigenous or local knowledge – and those with big dreams and big ideas.
Our aim is to bring together experts from these diverse areas to work in partnership with as many people as possible by using a combination of free face-to- face events in metropolitan and rural areas, as well as online tools.
We do this through projects like 'Campfires and Science' and 'Wild DNA'.
COVID-19 pandemic response
Science for All is involving people around the world in discussions the response to the pandemic. We are hosting online discussions and decision-making processes to help people all around the world shape ideas, prioritise and act.
Get involved by helping us map international COVID-19 initiatives or sharing your ideas in our Idea Incubator.
You can contact us at info@scienceforall.world for more information.
Standardised Data on Initiatives -STARDIT
We also host projects like 'Standardised Data on Initiatives - STARDIT'
We need a standardised way to describe the ‘who’, ‘how’, ‘what’ and ‘why’ of initiatives such as research, policy, educational interventions, international development and more.
A #ScienceWeek Spotlight on Victorian Science: @scifall encourages everyone to get involved in protecting and restoring our land and biodiversity. With community members, they created a world-first DNA test to find Leadbeater Possums. #CitizenScience
The time is out of joint; we need more help than ever to put science to work. We’re campaigning for a range of high value, community level programs; please support these efforts. @brainstemorg @BioQuisitive @scifall @AboriginalAstro https://rsv.org.au/put-science-to-work/ https://youtu.be/muEe3l-oZ7o
A great exploration of reporting the impact of involving the public in biobanks, and the first time 'Standardised Data on Initiatives' (STARDIT) has been cited in peer-reviewed literature as a way to improve current reporting of involvement.

Our paper is out! "The reported impact of public involvement in biobanks: A scoping review"
We found that functional approaches to #publicinvolvement limit impact and urged for a re-imagination of impact, re-conceptualized as a 2-way learning process

"VicForests' forestry operations damage or destroy existing habitat critical to the survival of the two species"
We're training people to survey and restore forest biodiversity with DNA.

@LeadbeatersPoss just won their historic Federal Court case to protect the threatened Leadbeater’s Possum and Greater Glider from logging. This is a huge win not just for threatened possums but for threatened wildlife across the country under pressure from logging. #forests
