AusSTS graduate network | Deakin Science and Society Network

The SSN supports the Australasian STS Network (AusSTS), a network led by early career researchers and postgraduate students in Science and Technology Studies (STS). The network was established in late 2017 by a group of STS PhDs and ECRs in Melbourne, Australia.

AusSTS hosts social, professional and academic events to support ECRs and PhDs to create a community in STS across Australia.

To join the AusSTS Network mailing list and receive updates about events and activities, signup to our Google group Australasian STS Grad Network (AusSTS) and follow us on Twitter @AusSTSgrad

Research streams

Transitioning to a net zero future

Science and research will help Australia take the technological leaps needed to achieve a net zero economy by 2050, with emissions levels 43% below 2005 levels by 2030.

Building a secure and resilient nation

Through research, Australia will strengthen its democratic institutions and freedoms while addressing challenges from foreign interference, mis- and disinformation, and polarisation.

Elevating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander knowledge systems

Australia celebrates the deep history and knowledge systems embedded in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, cultures and Countries.

Protecting and restoring Australia’s environment

We will harness the potential of Australia’s science and research system to protect our unique environments from the impacts of climate change and other threats.

Supporting healthy and thriving communities

Scientists and researchers will work with communities and individuals to develop the technologies, tools and techniques for more Australians to enjoy healthier lives from birth well into old age.
