STEM Futures scheme signs 50 new partner organisations

STEM Futures Scheme reaches 50 partner organisations milestone and launches new collaboration platform.

The Government Science and Engineering Profession team in the Government Office for Science has announced a major milestone for the STEM Futures scheme, with 50 new partner organisations that includes Rolls Royce, Brunel University London and Home Office.

These organisations span the 8 technical hubs covering:

These hubs bring together experts from government, academia and industry to share knowledge and best practice through placements, mentoring and secondments.

To support this growing network, STEM Futures has launched a new online collaboration platform designed to streamline engagement and resource sharing. The platform includes features such as an opportunities board, resource library, and discussion forums. It enables partner representatives and hub leads to coordinate activities, promote the scheme internally, and monitor engagement.

The platform was developed in response to challenges identified during the scheme’s expansion which included manual data collection and limited visibility of activities. It aims to embed STEM Futures more effectively within partner organisations and improve operational efficiency.

The STEM Futures Framework Agreement remains central to the scheme, reducing administrative barriers and enabling flexible collaboration across sectors.
