Professor Mike Gore AO taught physics at ANU for 25 years prior to establishing Questacon – The National Science and Technology Centre and the Questacon Science Circus – a program that produced over 500 science communication graduates through a partnership with CPAS. Alongside Professor Chris Bryant, Mike also helped establish CPAS. He was known globally for his infectious passion for science centres, hands-on workshops and science shows. Mike was generous with his time, networks and expertise, helping many emerging science communicators and science centres in Australia and abroad – and this fund will continue that mission. Click here to learn more about his remarkable life and impact.

CPAS is currently seeking philanthropic donors to continue this opportunity for other students in future years.  To donate to the Mike Gore Fund, please contact us or visit this webpage to donate directly. ANU is a registered Australian charity and all gifts and bequests are tax deductable.
