BE-STEMM 2024 – Canadian Black Scientists Network

The Canadian Black Scientists Network / Réseau Canadien des Scientifiques Noirs invites all participants in the Canadian Research & Innovation Ecosystem to BE-STEMM 2024, the National Conference for Black Excellence in Science Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, Medicine and Health.

BE-STEMM 2024, extends its tradition of highlighting the importance of the arts, intertwined with science. Its 2024 theme is Emancipating STEMM: Breaking Barriers and Fueling Innovation. The theme was created with Ghanaian artist Kafui.

Now in its third year, BE-STEMM 2024 will bring together leading minds, talents, and innovators to share their ground-breaking research, and to work with Allies to dismantle barriers to Black success in STEMM.

Held as a successful online event in 2022 and 2023, BE-STEMM 2024 will be hosted in person for the first time this year, at the National Library & Public Archives Canada, with key events shared online, including a closing ceremony on Emancipation Day. BE-STEMM 2024 is a unique opportunity for Community members, policy-makers, and employers to connect with Black professionals in STEMM research & innovation.
