SCI’s Early Career network is aimed at people in the early stages of their studies or research in university and industry.

This year the Trustees attended a full two day meeting in September covering aspects of the day to day management of the society, as well as more specifically identifying ways in which to future proof SCI.

Many of our members have already taken advantage of the generous support which SCI offers to early career members who are planning to travel to a conference or site visit related to their studies, so why don’t you? The closing date for the October round of applications is 31 October (for travel between 1 January and 30 June 2015).

The application deadline for SCI travel bursaries is fast approaching. So, if you are an SCI member in the early stages of your career and are travelling to a conference in early 2015, or planning a study visit to another institution or industrial site, apply for a travel bursary today.
