Voiceless is pleased to sponsor the Australian Museum’s Eureka Scientific Prize that Contributes to Animal Protection. The $10,000 prize is awarded annually to an individual or team for scientific research that has contributed, or has the potential to contribute, to animal protection.

Areas of scientific research that are considered for the prize include:

• research that reduces or eliminates the use of animals or animal products in laboratory-based research, education and testing (such as developing alternative methods that do not require animal use);

• research that reduces suffering of wild animals - including native animals, pest species or feral animals (such as developing non-lethal management techniques for feral animals);

• research that reduces suffering of farm animals (such as research into the physical or psychological effects of intensive farming methods including mutilations without pain relief, solitary confinement and confinement indoors); and
  
  
• research that addresses community values, attitudes or behaviour towards animals or animal protection.

In 2010, Voiceless was joined by long time supporter and friend, Sabina Van der Linden-Wolanksi, as a co-sponsor of the Voiceless Eureka Prize.
