The STEM Village endeavours to create a platform to improve visibility of the LGBTQ+ STEM community around the world.
Their platform improves the visibility of the international LGBTQ+ STEM community by providing opportunities for LGBTQ+ people to showcase their research to the wider fields of science, technology, engineering and maths.
