There are just a couple of weeks left to enter the 2024 Wales STEM Awards with entries closing on 12th July. The 2024 Wales STEM Awards will shine a spotlight on the organisations and individuals making a difference to the STEM agenda in Wales.
The awards celebrate those leading the sector in Wales, those businesses creating an impact on the Welsh economy, those addressing the STEM diversity gap and skills shortage, and those inspiring and raising aspirations of the next generation.

There are fifteen categories to enter, including Innovation in STEM, STEM Educational Programme of the Year, STEM Woman of the Year and STEM Company of the Year.
