2 “in demand for creating the economy of tomorrow”
STEM CAREERs “in demand for creating the economy of tomorrow” “STEM careers are in demand for creating the economy of tomorrow” Is it true ? Why ?

3 STEM CAREERs STEM Careers are careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (and Medicine) Let give an example …. (every body)

4 STEM CAREERs +X Many of the careers combine STEM skills with other areas. We call it ‘STEM + X’ Technology + Fashion =  3D printed clothes Maths + Sport = footy statistician Sciences + Diplomacy = Science and Innovation Officer, Chief Scientific Advisor

5 STEM CAREERs +X The Science and Innovation Network (SIN) has approximately 100 officers in over 40 countries and territories around the world building partnerships and collaborations on science and innovation. SIN officers work with the local science and innovation community in support of UK policy overseas, leading to mutual benefits to the UK and the host country.

6 +X STEM CAREERs What SIN does
Prosperity – enhancing UK growth and exports; connecting innovative UK industries and scientific expertise with international opportunities Security – delivering solutions to global challenges such as anti-microbial resistance (AMR), health, energy, the conservation and sustainable use of oceans, and enhancing resilience to natural disasters Influence – strengthening the UK’s foreign policy influence through science and innovation Development – supporting international development goals and matching UK expertise to international need

7 STEM CAREERs +X Newton UK – Thailand Research and Innovation Partnership Fund
