A growing number of Parliamentarians seeking regular expert advice on complex science and technology issues has seen Science & Technology Australia appoint a record-breaking 26 new STEM Ambassadors in 2023.
The STEM Ambassadors program was created by Science & Technology Australia in 2019 to expand access to expert advice on exciting opportunities emerging from science, technology, engineering and maths.
The 2023 intake of STA STEM Ambassadors - announced today - will meet regularly with their matched federal MP or Senator over the next two years.
Science & Technology Australia Chief Executive Officer Misha Schubert said a record-breaking number of MPs and Senators join the program in 2023 to deepen their access to expert insight on emerging capabilities.
"We're at a remarkable point in history where an explosion of complex science and technology advances are about to dramatically reshape our economy, our lives and our jobs," she said.
