Friday November 18 is LGBTQIA+ STEMM Day, an international day that celebrates the work of LGBTQIA+ people in science, technology, engineering, maths and medicine (STEMM) and highlights existing barriers.

Would you like to learn more about how to be an active ally?

Join us for a lunchtime webinar with Dr Erin McGillick to hear lived experience from the sector, explore the power of allyship in the personal and organisational context, and get tips to increase your allyship literacy.

Because our experiences are richer, and our possibilities greater, when we work together to create equitable, diverse and inclusive environments where everyone feels welcome, valued and supported as their authentic self.
