Science & Technology Australia’s STEM Ambassadors program is now open for applications.
The STA STEM Ambassadors program pairs science and technology experts with their local Federal MP or Senator. Ambassadors meet with their Parliamentarian several times each year to discuss STEM topics of interest and enhance Parliamentarians’ access to STEM expertise.
This innovative program was created by STA in 2019, and has since trained 41 STEM Ambassadors matched with MPs and Senators.
In this new program intake, another 22 MPs and Senators from across the breadth of the Parliament have asked for a STEM Ambassador for 2023-24.
The STEM Ambassadors are drawn from Science & Technology Australia’s member organisations and come from a diverse range of academic backgrounds and interests.
STEM sector professionals who are members of STA member organisations are encouraged to apply for the program.
Applications close 9am AEDT Monday 7 November 2022.
