Rather than just imagining a STEMM sector where careers are rewarded based on inclusive, fair and productive outcomes, join the conversation and contribute your ideas in a highly interactive virtual event aiming to reboot the STEMM sector.

The Australian Academy of Science is inviting early- and mid-career researchers (EMCRs) in Australia to join Reboot STEMM, a half-day virtual think tank on Tuesday 22 June to design a strategy that will lead the STEMM sector towards a more inclusive and diverse way of defining, recognising and rewarding “success”.

The pre-event process and the online event will be highly interactive and focused on generating conversations and ideas for rebooting the sector.  This Australia-wide initiative is joining a global conversation about re-defining academic “success” and builds upon fantastic work that is happening around the world.

EMCRs  from all around Australia  have the opportunity to  contribute and have their say at Reboot STEMM in two ways:

Agenda setting exercises: Participate in 20-minute online exercises which will help set the agenda for the online interactive event.

Online interactive event: Join the live event from 10.30am-2.30pm (ACST) on Tuesday 22 June. Expert facilitators have designed a virtual conversation platform that will help everyone to contribute. The online platform will remain open to allow you to add your afterthoughts in case there is anything you missed during the event.

Expressions of interest are being collected to help ensure a diversity of voices and experiences are included in this conversation, however your demographics will not be linked to your contribution in this event.

To participate in the agenda setting, the online event, or both, please complete the expression of interest form by 4.30pm (ACST) on Friday 28 May. Accessibility and caring support are available to facilitate your attendance. Please use the expression of interest form to let us know the type of support you require or get in touch at emcr@science.org.au
