Science and Stormont 2019

14 October 2019, Belfast, United Kingdom


Introduction
Designed to foster close relations with policymakers and key stakeholders, Science and Stormont is organised by the Royal Society of Chemistry, on behalf of, and in cooperation with, the Northern Ireland science and engineering community.

The Royal Society of Chemistry's eighth annual Science and Stormont event will be held in the Long Gallery (Afternoon Presentations) and the Members Dining Room Annexe (Exhibition,  Evening Drinks Reception and Buffet), Parliament Buildings, Stormont, Belfast.

This year’s theme will be education and skills, and we are delighted that Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell DBE FRS has agreed to deliver the keynote address.

Grants for carers

Grants for carers have been introduced following the Royal Society of Chemistry Breaking the barriers report where 78% of chemists working in UK academia felt that managing parenting and/or caring responsibilities has an impact on women’s retention and progression. This fund is not limited to women scientists and welcomes applications from anyone with caring responsibilities, for more information please refer to the ‘bursaries’ section on this page.
