SET for BRITAIN, a major scientific competition and exhibition in Parliament, is inviting applications for posters for entry into the competition.
Applications are invited from early-stage and early-career research scientists, engineers and technologists who wish to exhibit posters in one of the following three areas:
- Biological and Biomedical Science
- Physical Sciences (Chemistry and Physics)
- Engineering
Prizes will be awarded for the best scientific posters presented in each discipline, including the Wharton Medal which will be awarded in memory of the late Dr Eric Wharton, who did so much to establish SET for BRITAIN as a regular event in the Parliamentary calendar. Full details of the competition and exhibition including the application form can be found on the SET for BRITAIN website at: www.setforbritain.org.uk
The event will be held in the House of Commons on Monday 9 March 2009 between noon and 9 pm. It will form a part of National Science and Engineering Week 2009.
A wide range of important scientific and engineering institutions are lending their support to this event, including the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry, the Institute of Biology, the Institute of Physics, the Institution of Chemical Engineers, the Royal Academy of Engineering, and the Royal Society of Chemistry.
