Redboat is delighted to be a Gold Sponsor for the 2018 Science Meets Parliament 2 day event in Canberra, and produce this animation to support Science Technology Australia.
In 2018, Science meets Parliament offers science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) professionals the chance to build a profile for their important work as we approach another federal election cycle.
The two-day gathering of up to 200 scientist & technologists in Canberra includes a day of professional development, a gala dinner in the Great Hall of Parliament, a televised National Press Club lunch, and a day at Parliament House, where delegates meet privately in small groups of 3 - 5 with parliamentarians, attend a parliamentary forum and finally a farewell networking cocktails with the Parliamentary Friends of Science.
Attendees at last year’s event described it as “a fantastic opportunity to see the inside operation of our Government”, “a rewarding experience” and “very motivational and educational”.
Speakers include:
Australia's Chief Scientist Alan Finkel;
Deputy Chief Executive of Universities Australia, Catriona Jackson;
Head of Science and Commercialisation Policy Division at the Department of Industry, Innovation and Science, Dr Jane Urquhart;
Chief Scientists from the Bureau of Meteorology, the Australian Federal Police, Geoscience Australia, and the Department for Agriculture and Water Resources; and
Representatives from Google, the Climate Council of Australia, Defence Science and Technology Group, and many more.
Held from 13 – 14 February 2018, while Parliament is sitting, the 2018 event builds on the strong tradition of fostering relationships and understanding between scientists and technologists, MPs and Senators.
"Redboat helped us to create an online animation for interested parties to lean about Marine Zoning. We had a short turnaround time and very specific requirements, which did change at our end during the course of the project. The team at Redboat were wonderful. They offered suggestions to improve the process along the way, never seemed phased by last minute changes and were generally a pleasure to work with. We were thrilled with the end product. I’d highly recommend their services. "

"We used Redboat to tell a complex story in a short animation. We were completely happy both with the result – it make quite an impact at the time and is still being used successfully – and with the professional way in which Adrian interacted with the team in developing and fine-tuning the brief. I enthusiastically recommend his work generally and have done to others who might be looking for similar services."
