Each
year the ERI hosts two bursary places as part of the The Nuffield Science
Bursary Scheme. This enables 5th year secondary school students to work
alongside practicing scientists in commercial & industrial establishments,
research institutions & universities.
Bursaries
lasts for 4-6 weeks and allow students to each undertake a project that
is designed to benefit the students and make a real contribution to the
host organisation. During this time students not only gain experience
in laboratory procedures but also learn management, interpersonal and
communication skills,
all of which will help provide them with the confidence to pursue their chosen careers.
On completion of the placement, students are given the opportunity
to present their work at a national meeting (typically held in Glasgow or Edinburgh).
