Royal Society Student Conference - 19 November 2019
The Royal Society is organising their next student conference on Tuesday, 19 November 2019. The conference celebrates and showcases the investigative STEM projects taking place in secondary schools across the country. For the 2019 conference, they would like to showcase projects completed via the wealth of STEM inspiration schemes. If you are a school with students that have completed a Silver or Gold CREST Award, then the conference represents an exciting opportunity for those students to showcase their work, experience a real scientific conference and engage with their peers and invited guests, including Fellows of the Royal Society.
The conference day will include a student showcase, workshop and keynote speech, and is a unique opportunity for you and your students to share and celebrate their work. The Royal Society will provide financial support to help schools attend the conference. If you are interested in being involved in the conference, email the Royal Society's Education Outreach team by the end of June 2019. If you have any questions about the conference, they will be happy to answer them.
