Dear John,<br>
<br>
Want to give your members a fully-funded opportunity to build their networks, develop their science advocacy skills, and meet policymakers?<br>
<br>
Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, Science & Technology Australia is now offering <b>ten</b> <a href="https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/Yqe6CYW8NocL4jAp9SGag1D?domain=scienceandtechnologyaustralia.org.au/" target="_blank">full scholarships to Science meets Parliament 2022</a>.<br>
<br>
In addition to our First Nations, Pride, technology, and regional scholarships, we are delighted to add two new scholarships - a Disability Scholarship, and a Neurodivergent Scholarship.<br>
<br>
These two new scholarships have been provided thanks to the outstanding support of UNSW - who are proud champions of diversity.<br>
<br>
But wait, there’s more!<br>
<br>
To make sure your members don’t miss out on this opportunity to snare a scholarship for a career-defining event, we’ve <b>extended the deadline for applications to Wednesday 9 February</b>. <a href="https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/Yqe6CYW8NocL4jAp9SGag1D?domain=scienceandtechnologyaustralia.org.au/" target="_blank">Apply now</a>.<br>
<br>
Science meets Parliament is Australia’s premier event for deep engagement between the science and technology community and policymakers.<br>
<br>
Our scholarship winners will access a week-long program of high quality skills development and bespoke training, and have a meeting with an MP or Senator.<br>
<br>
They will also get to attend one of our National Gala Dinners for Science Meets Parliament on 2 June in their closest capital city.<br>
<br>
Science meets Parliament 2022 – to be held online 28 February-2 March 2022 – brings together an all-star science and technology line up for a week of unparalleled insights and deep engagement with decision-makers.<br>
<br>
It’s the best professional development opportunity on the STEM calendar, and scholarship winners can access it all, for free.<br>
<br>
These scholarships are made possible by our generous sponsors: the ARC Centre of Excellence for Engineered Quantum Systems, New Edge Microbials, the Australian Academy of Science, CropLife Australia, the Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering, UNSW and ATN Universities.<br>
<br>
To be eligible, you must be a member of - or employed by - <a href="https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/feD9CZY1Nqi5pXQ8jUKEIgS?domain=scienceandtechnologyaustralia.org.au/" target="_blank">an STA member organisation</a>.<br>
