The opportunity to achieve a transformative, systematic and sustained change in Australia’s STEM sector begins with this plan.
The Women in STEM Decadal Plan, developed by the Australian Academy of Science in collaboration with the Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering, offers a vision and opportunities to 2030 to guide stakeholders as they identify and implement specific actions they must take to build the strongest STEM workforce possible to support Australia’s prosperity.
The decadal plan provides a framework to ensure the STEM ecosystem is moving towards a shared vision. It outlines six opportunities for all stakeholders—government, academia, industry, education and the broader community—who have the power to act and create change.
The six opportunities are:
- leadership and cohesion
- evaluation
- workplace culture
- visibility
- education
- industry action.
Women in STEM Decadal Plan Champions are STEM organisations that have agreed to publicly align their gender equity journey with the decadal plan. The champions process builds on the efforts already underway across many STEM organisations, providing a platform to share knowledge, act, evaluate and create accountability. Discover and collaborate with champions’ activities, become a champion today, and sign up to the Women in STEM mailing list.
