The Government Science and Engineering Profession team in the
Government Office for Science has announced a major milestone for
the STEM
Futures scheme, with 50 new partner organisations that includes
Rolls Royce, Brunel University London and Home Office.
These organisations span the 8 technical hubs covering:
- Data and AI
- Systems Thinking
- Nuclear
- Space
- Weapons
- Ordnance
- Munitions and Explosives
- Quantum, Reliability, and Decarbonisation
These hubs bring together experts from government, academia and
industry to share knowledge and best practice through placements,
mentoring and secondments.
To support this growing network, STEM
Futures has launched a new online collaboration platform designed
to streamline engagement and resource sharing. The platform
includes features such as an opportunities board, resource
library, and discussion forums. It enables partner
representatives and hub leads to coordinate activities, promote
the scheme internally, and monitor engagement.
The platform was developed in response to challenges identified
during the scheme's expansion which included manual data
collection and limited visibility of activities. It aims to embed
STEM
Futures more effectively within partner organisations and improve
operational efficiency.
The STEM
Futures Framework Agreement remains central to the scheme,
reducing administrative barriers and enabling flexible
collaboration across sectors.
Organisations interested in joining the scheme or learning more
are encouraged to contact STEMFutures@go-science.gov.uk.
