| A group of delegates attending Science meets
Parliament 2017 have a private meeting with the Prime Minister Malcom
Turnbull. Science meets Parliament is an event that takes place every year
and brings together scientists and members of Parliament. During two days
in March, 200 scientists held meetings with parliamentarians to share their
work, research, and build connections. The meeting is organised by
Science and Technology Australia (STA) and has been
running for 18 years.
