The Centre for the Public Awareness of Science (CPAS) at The Australian National University was established in response to widespread expressions of concern about scientific literacy and the image of science. It brings together scientists, science communicators, journalists and people in industry to raise the public awareness of science.  CPAS also operates within the expanding world of interactive science centres through Questacon - The National Science and Technology Centre. The graduate programs offered by CPAS are intended for graduates wanting to enter the profession of science communication or for those already employed who are interested in further developing their communication skills.
