A great opportunity for those looking beyond the science horizon:
SET for BRITAIN exists to raise 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. Few of them have science or technology degrees, but we usually have around 100 Parliamentarians attending during the day.
Early-career researchers (MSc/PhD/Post-Doc), once screened by relevant scientists, have the opportunity to present their research in a poster session format to parliamentarians in ~90 seconds. The event is scheduled for Monday, 9th March 2015, sponsored by Andrew Miller MP, and the deadline for applications is 17:00 on 5th December 2014.
