The meriSTEM team

The meriSTEM team

meriSTEM is a massive undertaking, and over 200 people have contributed their time and expertise. By its very nature, meriSTEM wouldn’t be possible without the fantastic contributions of our wonderful volunteers, staff and former team members.

If you want to get involved or learn more, you can get in touch with the meriSTEM team by dropping an email to: contact.meristem@anu.edu.au
