RiAus

If you’re interested in the world around you, then RiAus is for you.

Housed in Adelaide’s historic Science Exchange building, we’re a place to learn, explore, network, and express ideas. Think of us as your resource for the latest and most topical science information. Our regular evening events are a refreshing alternative to a night in front of the TV, and they’re usually free. You’ll hear experts speak about up-and-coming science trends while you relax in the comfortable and intimate setting of our auditorium, with cabaret-style seating and bar.

If you miss an event, you can always catch up with one of our recordings online. If you are free on the night but can’t make it to our venue, you can watch the livestreaming and join the online chat. We’re passionate about bringing science to a wide audience, and are determined to maintain our place at the heart of the science community.

We offer something for all, including film and book club events, art launches, poetry readings, school holiday science and teachers’ resources, as well as a host of special events tailored to our valued members.

The Science Exchange building is open to the public from Monday to Friday. Drop in to explore the heritage features, or visit our Gallery and let the latest science focused art exhibition challenge your perspective.

We’re a not-for-profit organisation, and your support is vital to our continued growth as a thriving and dynamic science hub. Consider becoming an RiAus member. You’ll be part of a unique community and have access to exclusive member benefits, while contributing to a great cause.
