18-19th November, The Royal Society, London

Welcome to the ASDC Conference 2024, a vibrant inclusive event for everyone in the science engagement community and wider STEM sector to come together for collaboration, inspiration, and growth. The conference programme of talks, workshops, networking sessions and discussions will explore how we shape the future of science in our rapidly changing world.

Take a virtual tour around the Royal Society to see what it’s like inside before the conference starts.

ASDC recently launched the 'Valuing Inclusion' Theory of Change to support the measurement, and articulate the impact, of inclusive STEM education and engagement.

Come to this session with your current strategic objectives, recent project findings, or future ambitions for community centred engagement from your organisation. Reflect with colleagues on where your work fits within this umbrella, where it doesn't fit, and what resources would be most useful for you as practitioners.
