The Keynote seminar for the Westminster Higher Education Forum: Priorities for STEM subjects in higher education will take place on 14 April in London, United Kingdom.

Delegates will discuss how best to address the challenge of increasing the number of people studying STEM degrees, particularly women, and consider the role that alternative forms of HE such as Degree Apprenticeships might play. Sessions will also assess how to improve the number of STEM graduates finding employment in STEM industries, particularly how universities can better engage industry in course design as well as in the provision of 'sandwich' degrees with a year in industry or work placements more generally.

The seminar will bring together key policymakers with stakeholders including university and college leaders, learned societies, professional bodies and industry associations, STEM-sector employers, academics and others with an interest in these important issues.
