Frontiers of Science is an annual evening event held in partnership with the Teachers' Guild of NSW, the Royal Society of NSW and the Royal Australian Chemical Institute. 

Situated in the tranquil and pristine venue of Concord Golf Club, the event showcases four expert presentations encompassing physics, mathematics, biology and chemistry.

Ever since the Copernicun revolution in the 15th century science has been progressing at an exponential rate. Major discoveries and theories in physics, mathematics, biology and chemistry, have shaped and continue to grow at an exponential rate. The Frontiers of Science forum will have a group of international experts to give brief talks on the latest and future developments in their fields of knowledge.
