Get Involved in SET for Britain
Institute of Physics
23 December 2008
The Institute of Physics (IOP) has welcomed the launch of the SET for Britain competition and encourages all early career research physicists to take part in the exhibition.
SET for Britain is an exhibition of posters by early-stage and early-career research scientists, engineers and technologists. The exhibition gives them the opportunity to present work to MPs and their scientific peers. All posters are entered into a competition and significant cash prizes and medals will be awarded for the poster that best communicates its science.
Beth Taylor, Director of Communications at the IOP, said, “This is an excellent opportunity for early career researchers to demonstrate how innovative and exciting physics can be. I would urge all physicists to take part in this competition.”
SET for Britain will take place during National Science and Engineering Week on 9 March 2009 and will be held in the Terrace Marquee of the House of Commons.
The day has been subdivided into three sections, Biological and Biomedical Science; Physical Sciences (Chemistry and Physics) and Engineering with a £3,000 cash prize and medal awarded to the best poster in each category and an overall medal for the poster judged best across all categories on the day.
The application process has now opened and all potential applicants are invited to visit www.setforbritain.org.uk for details on how to enter. The closing date for entries is 16 January 2009.
