==Clunies-Ross Award==<!-- [[Clunies-Ross Award]] redirects here  -->
Founded in 1959 to perpetuate the memory of [[Ian Clunies Ross|Sir Ian Clunies Ross]], the Ian Clunies Ross Memorial Foundation promoted the development of science and technology in Australia's beneficial interest.
In November 2002, the Foundation was brought under the Academy's umbrella, securing the long-term future of the Awards. It became known as the Clunies Ross Foundation.
The Foundation established the Clunies Ross National Science & Technology Award in 1991. The Foundation was disbanded in 2004 and the Awards are now administered by the Academy in three categories.
