EQUS’ flagship public engagement event, the National Quantum & Dark Matter Road Trip, sees our team travel thousands of kilometers across Australia, engaging with schools and communities to share the wonders of quantum physics and dark matter research.

In 2024, we expanded our reach to the Northern Territory, visiting Aboriginal communities and schools for the first time, fostering mutual knowledge-sharing and cultural exchange. Additionally, our outreach efforts include trips to regions like Tasmania, where we connect with students through interactive presentations and discussions, sparking curiosity and enthusiasm for quantum science.

The 2022-24 Roadtrips led by EQUS and the ARC Centre of Excellence for Dark Matter Particle Physics, build on earlier EQUS outreach efforts, running since 2018, with over 4,000 students now reached by this and earlier activities.

As part of its legacy, EQUS will co-sponsor the 2025 edition, which will continue to be led by CDM after EQUS ends. See more at QDMroadtrip.org
