2026 Science Policy Forum
Are you interested in how scientific research can help build a better Australia? The Science Policy Forum will bring together researchers, public servants and science policy stakeholders to build bridges between the STEM research and policy communities. It will give early-career researchers an opportunity to learn about the process of policymaking, how scientific expertise can support policymaking and the future of science and research policy in Australia. It will also provide networking opportunities between public servants and the next generation of research leaders, to break down barriers between research and policy.
The Science Policy Forum is jointly organised by STA, the Australian National University, and the Science Policy Fellows Alumni Network.
