ICYMI, this APPG has announced its next project - we're looking into EDI strategies across the STEM sector. This is based on Prof Nira Chamberlain's submission to our call for ideas earlier this year. Professor Dr Nira Chamberlain OBE PhD HonDSc 🇯🇲 tells us about the idea in a guest blog 🔗 britishscienceassociation.org/blog/guest-blo…

We welcome the publication of a report on policies and practices to support STEM researchers with caregiving responsibilities from our colleagues at the US National Science and Technology Council @Whitehouse. Read the full report 🔗 whitehouse.gov/ostp/news-upda…

Following the dissolution of Parliament for the 4 July 2024 general election, this APPG no longer exists. The Secretariat hopes the Group can be re-established after the general election, and plans to resume activities on X in the new Parliament.
