Chemistry Education: Activating Research

The Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) has six bursaries of £1500 each available to cover the cost of travel, accommodation and registration of attending a major pedagogical research conference in the US. 

Pedagogical research in higher education (HE) science education in the US is much better funded than it is in the UK. As a result, there appears to be a greater range of high quality pedagogical research in HE in the US, yet contact and collaboration between researchers there and the UK is limited. To help address this situation and to work towards raising the profile of research in this area in the UK, an initiative from the Education Division of the RSC offers you a chance to widen your contacts and explore the research in the US.

Thanks for using Education in Chemistry. You can view one Education in Chemistry article per month as a visitor.
