Science Meets Parliament is Australia’s most powerful vehicle for deep engagement between the STEM sector and policymakers.

This event offers an unrivalled program of bespoke training to forge deeper connections between federal Parliamentarians and those working in science and technology. It plays crucial role to build relationships to bring STEM expertise even more deeply into the service of the nation.

It does so by giving STEM experts a deeper understanding of how to engage effectively with policymakers. And it helps policymakers to connect with key experts in science and technology.

Our national gathering of STEM leaders includes expert-led professional development, a welcome reception, a Parliamentary forum, national gala dinner, a televised National Press Club address, and opportunities for delegates to meet in small groups privately with Parliamentarians.

In 2023, Science & Technology Australia will build another ambitious program for this event.

An annual highlight on the Parliamentary calendar, it will deliver outstanding opportunities to elevate visibility and understanding of STEM in Parliament and Australian Government Departments.

In 2023, Science Meets Parliament will be held across two parts:
