SCIENCE PATHWAYS

Overview

The Forum is the national voice of Australia's future scientific leaders. It examines critical issues including career structure, education, job security, funding, training and gender equity, across multiple disciplines. The Forum liaises with other national organisations to positively contribute to Australia's health and economy, and the future careers of our emerging scientific experts.

Are you passionate about your future scientific career in Australia?

This meeting aims to engage you - Australia's early mid career researchers (EMCRs), across all disciplines and from around the country - in active discussion. The Forum wants to learn more about the specific challenges you face and with you, devise some possible solutions - both aspirational and practical. We want you to have your say!

Importantly, you will also extend your professional skills and learn more about rewarding scientific careers. Science Pathways will also provide opportunities to network with leading scientific professionals from some of Australia's top organizations in public and private enterprise, so don't be shy!
