The CSIRO Awards celebrate the outstanding achievements of our people and partners who are unlocking a better future for everyone. It’s our ultimate rewards and recognition program. Congratulations to all of our 2020 CSIRO Award winners! 2020 CSIRO Award winnersSir Ian McLennan Impact from Science and Engineering MedalAwarded to TraNSIT.The Transport Network Strategic Investment Tool (TraNSIT) revolutionised the way Australia’s transport-related infrastructure investments are prioritised. The tool is now widely used by all levels of government to inform Australia’s largest transport infrastructure projects and initiatives. CSIRO Medal for Diversity and InclusionAwarded to the domestic family violence and abuse working group.The working group developed a comprehensive and impactful workplace response to support our people impacted by domestic family violence and abuse. CSIRO Collaboration MedalAwarded to Northern Australian Water Resource Assessment (NAWRA) team.The NAWRA is the world’s most extensive, multi-disciplinary water resource study, involving a team of more than 180 people. NAWRA has created value for various customers, with the research outputs actively used by governments, industry, communities, individual land holders, and developers to inform resource planning, management and investment decisions. Awarded to the COVID-19 vaccine development team.The COVID-19 vaccine development team rapidly pivoted and actively engaged in the global pursuit of vaccines for the COVID-19 pandemic. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Engagement Impact Excellence MedalAwarded to the Indigenous STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) Education Project.Working in partnership with schools and communities, the Indigenous STEM Education Project established best practice education models that increased participation, aspirations and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students and communities in STEM. CSIRO Medal for Support ExcellenceAwarded to Flattening the Response Curve team.Proactive and focused support from the Flattening the Response Curve team helped our research teams’ partner with industry, government and the innovation ecosystem to deliver COVID‐19 response and recovery solutions to the communities we serve. Chief Executive Team CSIRO AwardAwarded to Simon Barry.Simon led the development of our Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Future Science Platform. He brought people together from multiple teams across the organisation, as well as numerous external partners, to drive a vision that is truly cross-cutting, domain-spanning, and transformational in these spaces. Awarded to Sarah Pearce.Sarah played a leading role in our involvement in the international Square Kilometre Array project to build the world’s largest radio telescope, and was Australia’s science negotiator for the SKA international treaty. Earlier this year she was named NSW Telstra Business Woman of the Year, and just this month awarded Space Executive of the Year and made a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering. CSIRO HSE Medal for Area Custodian of the YearAwarded to the Australian National Insect Collection (ANIC) ethanol collection relocation team.The ANIC ethanol collection relocation team created an innovative solution to store its ethanol collection. The collection was relocated to new facilities, which ensured alignment with Australian Standards and best practice dangerous goods handling and storage, and prioritised our people’s safety.

CSIRO Medal for Lifetime AchievementAwarded to Louise Glenn.Louise’s dedication to science support is outstanding. Working in our finance and project support areas, she has always been great promoter of our science to our people and stakeholders alike. Awarded to Philip John Larkin.Philip’s research leadership of several teams has contributed to impactful science including: BYD virus resistant wheat varieties, synthetic virus resistance genes, improved pharmaceutical poppy, micronutrient-dense rice, gluten-free barley and cereals for digestive health. Awarded to Kathleen McInnes.Kathy’s sustained research excellence has advanced the knowledge of how climate change affects sea-level rise, storm surges and severe weather, and enabled communities to understand and adapt to climate change. Chairman’s Medal for Science and Engineering ExcellenceAwarded to the Australian Centre for Disease Preparedness (ACDP) COVID-19 team.The work of the ACDP COVID-19 team enabled the rapid progression of the two leading vaccine candidates through clinical trials. Bringing the world a step closer to a safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine. Importance of recognitionThis year, we’ve been more apart than ever but we’ve worked better together than ever. The road ahead for Australia’s recovery and future resilience calls on us to collaborate widely and generously to boldly take on challenges that are bigger than ourselves. It won’t be an easy road. But together, with our partners, there is no limit to how far we can go. Congratulations again to our CSIRO Award winners! |
