In2scienceUK works with passionate STEM researchers and professionals to support young people from disadvantaged backgrounds to pursue careers in STEM. Through an inspirational summer programme of in-person work placements, online skills workshops and competitions, In2scienceUK gives Year 12 students the opportunities they need to overcome the barriers in their way of becoming the next generation of innovators and pioneers.
It’s easy to support In2scienceUK’s mission by becoming a host. PhD students, lab technicians, researchers and lecturers are all eligible to volunteer. Make a difference to the prospects of these young people by sharing your expertise and insights through a 1 or 2 week placement at your workplace. Apply here and provide underrepresented students with invaluable support to help them succeed on their journey into STEM. The deadline to apply is 31st March 2023.
In addition to training, we can offer assistance with grants and applications for schemes such as Athena Swan and the Race Equality Charter. Students are local, in Year 12, and are selected using our eligibility criteria, which ensures the programme benefits those who need it most.
