The UCL STEM Participation and Social Justice research group aims to make STEM fields and subjects more inclusive, accessible and equitable for all young people.
The team was awarded the Royal Society’s Athena Prize “for their cutting-edge research and development projects which have increased understanding, transformed practice, and led to more equitable participation in STEM”. The prize recognises teams who have contributed most to the advancement of diversity in STEM.
The research group's activity encompasses four currently projects that all seek to understand and challenge injustices in STEM engagement and participation: ASPIRES, Making Spaces, Primary Science Capital, and Youth Equity + STEM, as well as the now concluded Enterprising Science project.
