🔬 Definition: Science Identity

Science identity is how someone connects with science & its community. Engaging in real research at school helps students see themselves as scientists.

Director Jo Foster is in Exeter for our first conference of the season! These are an opportunity for students to share their amazing research with peers and the wider academic community.

We're so pleased to have you all with us in #Exeter, #Manchester and #London! 🚀 🎉 ⭐ #STEM #EduSky

According to government statistics, only one quarter of the STEM workforce are female. We're building the case for change. Learn more in our report: researchinschools.org/framework/

We piloted a new R&I approach in nine schools across England.

The results were impressive. Imagine if every student in the had this opportunity.

“Just having the time to research at this age is amazing. Most students don’t experience it until university…It’s about giving them the chance to experience the bigger picture.” – chemistry teacher

We want to change the culture in UK education so that every young person experiences real research.
