What will I get out of this event?

This conference is designed to provide attendees with training and knowledge on a range of topics that will support the development of their career. It will also provide in-person attendees with the opportunity to put their networking skills in to practice with other attendees during breaks and at the social function.

Attendees will also hear from a range of experts or individuals with lived experience, who will share their knowledge and perspectives about how we ensure we are creating and supporting a more diverse and inclusive workforce for all people, with equal access to support and opportunities.

If you can’t be there in-person, join the event online and have access to all of the recorded presentations post the event so you can go back and watch any sessions you missed.

FLEET was a partner of the inaugural inSTEM conference that happened in July 2022 along with 10 other research organisations. Click here to watch a short video with images of last year’s event, see if you can spot the FLEET members!
