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.

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.

@ch_nira tells us about the idea in a guest blog 🔗 https://t.co/FEXnZPlLhD

[APPG on Diversity & Inclusion in STEM @STEMDandIAPPG]

Thank you for all the submissions to our Call for Ideas.

This project is based on a submission from @ch_nira and Nira will be explaining how this idea came to be in a guest blog next week.
