The National Indigenous Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Professional Network (NISTEMPN) acknowledges all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of these lands, now known as Australia. We acknowledge that sovereignty has never been ceded. NISTEMPN recognise our continuing connection to lands, seas, waterways, skies, cultures and communities, as the longest continuing cultures, globally. We pay our respects to Elders, past and present. 

We are building a strong network to promote and build capabilities, with mentoring at the core, and to share, facilitate success, and to collaborate on and advance our work, research, Knowledges and practices. This gathering will assist in influencing the Academies to shift their thinking on our Knowledges 

To date we've held two online gatherings to bring together Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders and community peoples with Indigenous Knowledges in STEM, practitioners, academics and students. As a collaborative we determined our NISTEMPN's aims and established a Leadership committee to organise our inaugural face-to-face Gathering

at The University of Technology Sydney (UTS)

Building 8, UTS Business School, 14/28 Ultimo Rd, Ultimo
