After a successful round of applications, we are pleased to confirm that ASE’s new Policy Group is up and running and held its inaugural meeting in April 2024.

The Policy Group’s main purpose is to provide strategic guidance, oversight, and recommendations related to advocacy initiatives and policy matters within ASE, with a view to enhancing and improving the ASE’s impact on relevant issues. The group will meet up to six times during the year.  

The group will be setting out its policy priorities in coming weeks - these will be driven in part by the ASE's overall strategic plan.

The group has confirmed Jane Turner, CSciTeach, Associate Professor for Enterprise and Entrepreneurship at the University of Hertfordshire and Director of the Primary Science Quality Mark as its chair.

Jane commented:

‘I’m delighted to take on the Chair role for ASE’s new Policy Group. I am excited by this opportunity to ensure that UK wide science education policy is informed by the fantastic range of expertise and experience that the group’s members bring.’
