RSC seeks social science research group

Project to explore widening participation in higher education

The Royal Society of Chemistry is looking for a social science research group to study the success of a widening participation initiative.

Expressions of interest are sought from experienced teams to assist with the evaluation of a five year programme of chemistry activities for secondary school students. The activities will present chemistry in a way that allows students from low participation backgrounds to make informed choices about studying chemical science subjects at university.

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

A photograph of a teacher standing in a white lab coat, speaking with a class of children in a laboratory, is superimposed on a colourful background. Text reads "Teach Chemistry means support for classroom and staff room".
