Science Meets Parliament 2024

This week, one of our early career researchers Dr Nirmala Ilankoon was invited by the Australian Government Department of Education to attend Science & Technology Australia’s Science Meets Parliament event at Australian Parliament House in Canberra on behalf of the Resources Technology and Critical Minerals Trailblazer.

This event offered attendees bespoke training to forge deeper connections between federal Parliamentarians and those working in science and technology. STEM professionals like Nirmala had the opportunity to broaden their networks and engage with policymakers and the chance to meet with parliamentarians as well.

We’re delighted Nirmala was able to represent our Trailblazer at this prestigious event and share the innovative work she is doing with industry through our Trailblazer to address some of Australia’s biggest challenges and greatest opportunities.
