What's important

  • Nominate yourself or someone you know.
  • Closing date is 19 July 2024.

The 2024 Queensland Women in STEM Prize  celebrates the exceptional contributions of Queensland's women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).

Now in its ninth year, the Queensland Women in STEM Prize aims to foster passion and drive among women and girls, encouraging their active participation and leadership within STEM, including the social sciences.

By highlighting the achievements of these emerging leaders, we not only honour their remarkable work but also promote gender equity, diversity, and inclusion in Queensland's scientific and technological sectors.

Queensland's STEM community plays a vital role in driving economic prosperity, sustainability, and community well-being. While advancements in gender equality have opened doors for more women and girls, there remains a need to elevate women's visibility and recognition in leadership roles across STEM disciplines.

Help us to inspire the next generation of STEM leaders and pave the way for transformative change in Queensland's scientific and technological landscape—because when women succeed, we all benefit.
