Registrations are now open for Catalysing Gender Equity 2020 on Thursday 20 and Friday 21 February at the Adelaide Convention Centre.
Catalysing Gender Equity 2020 will bring representatives of research, industry, education and government organisations to celebrate success, showcase impact and growth potential, highlight key action areas and foster collaboration to achieve change, all guided by the six opportunities of the Women in STEM Decadal Plan.
Delegates will hear from inspiring speakers and participate in a variety of workshops, seminars, gallery submissions and panels, each focused on progressing and implementing strategic recommendations and opportunities in the decadal plan.
The event is a unique opportunity to connect leaders and contributors from across the STEM ecosystem. This conference will be a key national moment to advance gender equity in STEM, while strengthening collaborations, building new networks and sharing evidence-based best practice.
The registration fee for the full two days is $450 and a reduced rate of $350 is available for students (undergraduate, PhD and masters), not-for-profit organisations, and small businesses of less than 15 employees.
In addition, all delegates can join SAGE in celebrating recipients of the Athena SWAN Institutional Bronze Awards at the SAGE Awards Dinner on 20 February being held at the Adelaide Town Hall. Dinner tickets are $165 per person.
STEM Women, a database of women in STEM developed by the Academy, is offering funding to support exceptional and diverse changemakers in the STEM Women community to attend Catalysing Gender Equity 2020. STEM Women Changemaker applications close 13 January 2020.
To facilitate delegate attendance at the conference, onsite child minding, carers grants and accessibility provisions such as closed captioning can be made available. We encourage those requiring support to outline their requirements during the registration process.
The Academy has partnership opportunities available for organisations to support discounted attendance rate for students and small businesses, and the inclusion of accessibility provisions throughout the conference.
The Equity Action Gallery provides a space to share the knowledge and experience gained from the abundance of equity projects in Australia. Space is available for organisations and individuals to provide a poster or flyer outlining the goals and impacts of their projects.
We encourage all interested organisations and individuals to contribute. You do not need to attend Catalysing Gender Equity 2020 to display your project.
