The University of Sydney is proud to be an inaugural Champion of the Women in STEM Decadal Plan.
The Women in STEM Decadal Plan was launched in April 2019 by the Australian Academy of Science, to present a shared vision of the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) ecosystem to attract, retain and progress girls and women in STEM careers and education.
The Decadal Plan provides a framework to guide the actions of government, industry, academia and the education sector over the next ten years, to achieve gender equity in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). It was developed with the input of hundreds of organisations and guidance from an expert working group of leading academics, industry professionals, researchers and education experts.
The University of Sydney is already on its way to making real change.
Professor Renae Ryan, Academic Director of SAGE
"Tackling issues of equity and diversity is always difficult, but the University of Sydney is already on its way to make real change. We are proud to be one of the first Champions of this initiative, and to demonstrate our commitment to the advancement of women in STEMM within the higher education sector" said Professor Renae Ryan, Academic Director of SAGE (Science in Australia Gender Equity).
