Leadership in a Time of Change

Join us on Friday 23 February at 1:00 for a special, future-focussed panel discussion, broadcast from the Parliament of Victoria, to mark the International Day of Women and Girls in Science

This event will convene four remarkable women leaders in the fields of science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM) to discuss Leadership in a Time of Change. The discussion will address the cultural and structural barriers to the advancement of women in Australia’s STEMM workforce, and the increasingly dynamic nature of leadership in a world that is changing rapidly in many ways.

Having just returned from a warming Antarctica as part of the acclaimed Homeward Bound program, our speakers bring fresh insights to the pivotal role leadership plays in navigating the unknown and the uncertain, both in the scientific realm and beyond.
