Science & Technology Australia represents the full breadth of Australia’s STEM talent – including across the nation’s university sector.
Through our special university membership offering, STA enables STEM institutes, centres and faculties at universities to leverage our national STEM networks, develop their key STEM talent, and engage effectively with decision-makers.
STA is well-known for our flagship programs Science Meets Parliament, Superstars of STEM and STA STEM Ambassadors. We are also the leading provider of bespoke communications training to the nation’s STEM sector. STA’s Super STEM Communicator workshops teach brilliant scientists and researchers how to communicate their work with greater cut-through, confidence and profile – and how to engage effectively with policymakers. Collectively, these programs are fostering the profile and skills of the next generation of Australia’s STEM leaders.
STA membership gives a university’s STEM leadership access to STEM-specific policy analysis, advice and Government relations support. It enables institutes to access STA programs, professional development and networking, and contribute to national STEM leadership deliberations.
In our university sector package, STA includes a Gold sponsorship of Science Meets Parliament – the most visible deep engagement vehicle between the worlds of science and policy making. This enables a university to send up to 6 conference delegates, one of whom will have an opportunity to meet with a federal MP to discuss frontier STEM research, and 3 guests at the National Gala Dinner.
