Staff Association members and delegates are invited to submit an expression of interest to attend Science meets Parliament (SMP) 2025.
Held in Canberra between 12-13 February, the 2025 SMP program marks the twenty-fifth edition of the event.
This national gathering of STEM leaders includes expert-led professional development, a welcome reception, Parliamentary forum, national gala dinner, televised National Press Club address and opportunities for participants to meet in small groups directly with select Parliamentarians.
As a founding member of event host Science and Technology Australia (STA), each year the union sponsors a number of Staff Association members to participate.
Staff Association members interested in attending the event should email a brief expression of interest (EOI) to csstaff@cpsu.org.au immediately.
Early career researchers are particularly encouraged to apply.
The short EOI should describe the work performed at CSIRO and reasons for the interest in attending SMP.
If the election is called early in 2025 and the Government is in caretaker mode on February 12 and 13, the event will be postponed and rescheduled for later in the year.
CSIRO Staff Association members Naomi Boxall, Flora Kerblat and Rosangela Devilla were sponsored to attend the 2022 event.
Watch an interview with Flora, Rosangela and Naomi below.
