IMAS is involved in many community events around Tasmania. Our local community is an integral part of our research and outlook, so if you see our fish tanks, boats or scientists out and about, come and say hello.
We hold a variety of public exhibitions at our beautiful waterfront building in Hobart - from showcasing our research, to science-meets-art displays.
Our exhibition space is currently closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Please check back here to confirm our opening times - and we look forward to welcoming you soon.
For all group bookings for current exhibitions please email our friendly IMAS Admin team, with your name and contact details, organisation, group size, and preferred M-F time and date. Providing 2-3 date options will help us streamline arrangements for your group's visit.
Stay tuned: our urchin exhibition is opening soon!
Agfest is an annual agricultural show in the north of Tasmania. Run by the Rural Youth Organisation of Tasmania, IMAS attends this enormous event to showcase our capacity in aquaculture and fisheries research, and environmental sustainability.
As part of our engagement with the boating community, especially recreational fishers, we regularly attend the biannual Australian Wooden Boat Festival. The Festival celebrates our rich maritime culture, and is one of the largest events of its kind in the world.
IMAS is a proud supporter of the biannual Australian Antarctic Festival providing an open day at the IMAS Salamanca building with various interactive activities and presentations from researchers for both schools and members of the public.
