Sponsorship proposals and enquiries can be submitted to science@jtsi.wa.gov.au.

Ambassadors include Premier’s Science Award winners who have been recognised as WA's top STEM researchers, educators and communicators.

The Chief Scientist of Western Australia, Professor Peter Klinken AC, and Nobel Laureates Professor Barry Marshall AC and Dr Robin Warren AC also act as ambassadors for WA science and undertake a variety of science engagement activities as part of their roles.
