National Science and Engineering Week Information Sessions

It only seems like yesterday we were giving out free seeds and talking to beekeepers at my regional base at INTECH Science Centre during National Science and Engineering Week. But that was 4 months ago! With next March looming (far) on the horizon, plans are now underway for the next round of Information Sessions, taking place across the region in September and October.

 Why attend?
If you’re looking at putting on an event for the week next year, then you’ll find a wealth of information at these informal workshops:
- Funding information
- Details of the 2010 theme
- Tips from previous NSEW event organisers, local to your area
- Networking: exchange and develop ideas
