The National Youth Science Forum (NYSF) has announced Lockheed Martin Australia as its major sponsor for the next three years at a launch event at Parliament House.

“This investment by Lockheed Martin is significant and reflects an understanding of the important role of outreach and extension programs in encouraging young Australians to continue their studies in the science, technology and engineering spheres,” stated Damien Pearce, director of the NYSF Council.

The event was attended by Raydon Gates, Lockheed Martin Australia & New Zealand chief executive, and Professor Ian Chubb, the Chief Scientist for Australia.
