Westminster Higher Education Forum – Addressing the STEM skills gap
Timed to follow the publication of the 'one year on' report of the Perkins' Review of Engineering Skills, expected in late 2014, delegates at this conference will assess progress made by the sector to close the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) skills gap by encouraging more young people to study these subjects and take up careers in related industries. The conference also coincides with the Government's Your Life campaign, announced by the Chancellor in May 2014.
