SET for BRITAIN Poster Competition 2015 now open
17 Nov 2015
Early-career research scientists, engineers, technologists and mathematicians can promote their work at Westminster
Applications are invited from early-career research scientists, engineers, technologists and mathematicians who wish to exhibit at the SET for BRITAIN poster competition.
Awards are made on the basis of the very best research work and results by an early-career researcher (MSc/PhD/Post Doc or similar, either in academia or industry) together with their ability to communicate their work to a lay audience.
SET for BRITAIN raises the profile of Britain's early-stage researchers at Westminster by engaging Members of both Houses of Parliament with current science, engineering and mathematics research being undertaken in the UK, especially that by their local constituents and in their local University.
The competition is divided into five subject areas:
- Biological and Biomedical Science
- Chemistry
- Physics
- Engineering
- Mathematics
There are three poster exhibitions and judging sessions during the day, each ending with a reception and prize-giving. The competition currently attracts around 500 entrants, of whom approximately 35% are selected to present their work in Parliament.
Last year's Gold Award winner in the Biological and Biomedical Sciences, was Dean Lomax, from the School of Earth, Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences, here at The University of Manchester.
