Details

Under the overarching theme of Rethinking STEM Higher Education, the 2021 STEM conference will provide an opportunity to reflect on, learn from, and further progress our responses to the COVID-19 crisis, to ensure that our approaches to STEM education are more resilient, effective and inclusive and to identify the new opportunities that have arisen from the pandemic.

The outbreak of COVID-19 has shaken the world and changed our lives, possibly forever. The STEM disciplines, and their staff, have been in the forefront of leading our national response to the virus: working collaboratively with medical institutions and industry to design and update life-saving equipment for the NHS; undertaking national and international research initiatives to understand the virus and its global spread; exploring all avenues to expedite the creation of a vaccine; and not least in redesigning curricula to ensure STEM students receive a learning experience that meets expectations and learning outcomes despite being in lockdown.

The conference will take place over a single day, delivered via our virtual conference platform. It will feature a programme of live keynote speakers and panel sessions, plus live parallel workshops and interactive breakout sessions, an extensive programme of on-demand oral presentations and a virtual poster exhibition.
