Salters’ National Awards for Science Technicians
APPLICATIONS NOW OPEN!
About the Awards
These Awards are run by the Salters’ Institute in collaboration with both CLEAPSS and SSERC.
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.
In celebration of the Institute’s Centenary, Awardwinners may also have the opportunity to apply for a Salters’ Technician Network Grant.
