National Forum

The National Forum is a collective of key funders and organisations including ASDC, involved in setting the national agenda for public engagement in STEM. Established in 2014, our goal is to improve collaboration, co-operation and learning across the sector. We want to make better collective decisions and accelerate improvements across the science engagement ‘system’.
