Science and Technology Australia (STA) will hold “Science meets Parliament” (SmP) again next year from 20-21 March 2024 in Canberra. This event provides the opportunity for scientists and technologists to interact with the Government's key decision makers.

SmP 2024 will build on the strong tradition of fostering relationships and understanding between scientists and technologists, MPs and Senators.

As a member of STA, SSA is invited to be represented at SmP. This is a unique development opportunity which we would like to give to one of our "Early Career or Student Statisticians”. Our definition of an "Early Career or Student Statistician” (ECSS) is a person enrolled for a degree who is studying either full-time or part-time without age limit, OR a person who graduated with a Bachelor's degree within the past five years, OR a person awarded a postgraduate degree within the past year. The Society will pay the registration fee and reasonable travel expenses for our representative at SmP.

If you would like to be SSA's representative at SmP 2024, please email your expression of interest to [email protected]. Please include your current CV and 300 words or less explaining how SmP 2024 could help further your career and why you would be an excellent representative of SSA.
