For National Science Week, the University of Adelaide is hosting a series of 3 x 20 minutes lectures by women working or studying in STEM. You will have the opportunity to hear from our amazing guest speakers who will share their life journeys and how they are connected with STEM. The lectures will be held at the University of Adelaide's North Terrace Campus and will also be streamed live for those that aren’t able to attend in person.
We are collaborating with Take Two, a female owned and run film production company to record each lecture, with the videos being made freely available as on-going resources and to add to the profile of amazing women working in STEM.
