Announcing our ‘STEM for Climate Action’ Youth STEM Matters Research Conference
The Youth STEM Matters team is excited to announce our upcoming Youth STEM Matters Research Conference!
Mark your calendars for 30th October 2021, 2-6pm BST (GMT+1), when we'll be bringing young people from all over the world together, to drive climate action! Taking place just days before COP26, the UN Climate Change Conference, this time, our Research Conference will be themed around ‘STEM for Climate Action’, so it’s packed with talks and workshops covering climate justice, how tech is tackling climate change, young researchers protecting our planet, and much more! At the Research Conference we’ll showcase and celebrate the difference that young people are making through STEM research, and provide youth with the skills and opportunities they need to tackle global challenges.
