About this event

In line with this year's International Women's Day theme, Professionals Australia's event will focus on breaking down the barriers to equality in STEM and what action needs to be taken at a government, industry, and workplace level to remove any existing barriers.

We are excited to invite Anna-Maria Arabia, CEO of the Australian Academy of Science to our event as the keynote speaker.

Anna-Maria has over 20 years’ experience in the science sector and is an experienced Chief Executive currently leading the Australian Academy of Science, an independent not-for-profit organisation that provides authoritative and influential scientific advice, represents Australia on key international scientific bodies, builds public awareness and understanding of science, and champions and supports excellence in Australian science.

In this role Anna-Maria has led significant reform in global science engagement, in science policy matters; and in addressing gender equity in science. She is a strategic and dispassionate advocate for science, social justice, diversity and inclusion.

Following the keynote speaker's address, there will be time for attendees to ask questions.
