The National Conference for Science Technicians (NCST) celebrates technical staff and their vital contribution to the sciences, as well as the Technician Commitment.
This hybrid conference will bring together people who work across all branches of the chemical sciences.
This year, the theme is career development and we will cover career development skills and frameworks relevant to technical staff, for both the individual technician and recognising the technical community as a whole.
This conference will bring together people who work across all branches of the scientific sectors, giving technicians an opportunity to share their work and experiences – particularly around increasing visibility of the technical workforce and how you can raise your own profile and that of the community. As well as networking opportunities and a chance to hear from inspirational technicians, the programme will include:
If there are other colleagues from your organisation attending, we suggest nominating one or two technicians, meaning as many institutions can be represented as possible.
There will be travel bursaries available to provide up to £200 for any delegates based in the UK to attend the conference. Applications for the travel bursary will open with event registration in June.
