All-Party Parliamentary Group on Diversity & Inclusion in STEMAbout the Group Following the dissolution of Parliament for the 4 July 2024 general election, this APPG no longer exists. The Secretariat hopes the Group can be re-established after the general election, and plans to resume activities in the new Parliament. The All-Party Parliamentary Group on Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) in STEM aims to promote the inclusion and progression of people from diverse backgrounds in STEM, and to encourage government, parliamentarians, academics, businesses and other stakeholders to work towards a STEM sector that is representative of the population. We also want to consider and influence changes in policy that will lead to this outcome. For more updates, follow us on Twitter. As part of its work on equality, diversity and inclusion across the science and science engagement sectors, the British Science Association (BSA) acts as secretariat for the Group. The Group is made up of Members of Parliament and Lords, and is a focus for collaboration with businesses and other organisations in STEM. Details of previous meetings of the APPG can be found here.
