Salters’ National Awards for Science Technicians

APPLICATIONS HAVE NOW CLOSED. THANK YOU TO ALL THOSE WHO APPLIED.

About the Awards

These Awards are run by the Salters’ Institute in collaboration with both CLEAPSS and SSERC.

CLEAPSS is an advisory service providing support in science and technology for a consortium of local authorities and their schools, including technician support.

SSERC (Scottish Schools Education Research Centre) is a Local Authority shared-service providing support across all thirty-two Scottish Education Authorities.

These Awards, originally established in 2002 by The Salters’ Institute, are also supported by the following institutions:

• Association for Science Education
• The Institute of Physics
• The Royal Society of Biology
• The Royal Society of Chemistry

The aim of the Awards is to highlight the importance of technicians in enabling high quality practical work in science in schools and colleges, with the emphasis on promoting and supporting the professional learning and upskilling of technician teams. Don’t worry if you’re the sole technician in a school or college – you’re still eligible!

The awards are to be given as team awards (sole technicians are still eligible!) to Science Technicians in schools and colleges catering for students up to the age of 18 across the UK. A team could be working within or across the sciences. The Awards will be made as follows:

• Up to 4 awards of £1000 each

We hope that the Awards will continue to heighten the awareness of the importance of Science Technicians to education in this country.
