The In2Science scheme sponsored by the BRC is looking for researchers who can provide lab placements for A-level students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
For the scheme, scientists host students aged 16-17 for a one- or two-week summer placement. The aim is to inspire students to study and pursue STEM careers.
Researchers can host up to three students. The deadline to apply is 8 April 2022 with placements to be held next summer.
Alongside summer placements, In2science offers participating Year 12 students online skills workshops and other training and coaching which aim to break down barriers to entry to STEM degrees and careers.
75% of participants progress onto STEM degrees.
To sign up to take part in the scheme, visit the In2Science website.
To hear more about getting involved, register to attend one of several online sessions In2scienceUK are running over the coming months. Researchers can also contact Jo Maniscalco at jo@in2scienceuk.org.
