Our vision and mission
Our vision is a world where science is seen as a fundamental
part of our culture and society.
Our mission is to support, grow and diversify the community of
people who are interested and involved in science. We will
give them a platform to access and enjoy science and
strengthen their influence over science’s direction and place in
society.
The STEM pipeline
Are we producing enough
skilled graduates for STEM?
Industry: 60% say no
Universities: 80% say no
40% of all employers
struggling to employ
enough people with
technical skills
