The British Science Festival Student Bursary scheme, now in its 15th year, is open for registrations.
The scheme enables institutions and companies to sponsor their chosen students (min. age 18) to attend the British Science Festival and experience the full week of events.
With a programme of over 250 activities, lectures and workshops, the British Science Festival is one of Europe’s largest annual public science events. This year, the Festival will take place in Birmingham from the 6th-11th of September. The Festival is hosted by the University of Birmingham, with activities being held on campus and around the city.
The Festival provides a fantastic opportunity for students to broaden their horizons; meet leading scientists, speakers and like-minded individuals; engage in debate and discussion about science in society and meet potential new employers from leading STEM companies.
