The Salters' Institue is currently working on introducing a blended, three-stage approach to their Festivals of Chemistry for Spring 2022, which will include a mix of engaging online elements and the reintroduction of in-person events hosted at universities!
In-person events will take the form of "Discovery Days", which are aimed at 14-16 year olds with the objective of exploring all that the study of chemistry has to offer. Five Discovery Days will take place across the UK, in Northern Ireland, Scotland, The Midlands, The South/North West, and North Wales.
The schedule and local activity will be shared on the Salters’ Institute website in mid to late November, including information about how to register. If you would like to be contacted when this information goes live, please e-mail the Salters’ Institute and ask to be added to their Festivals 2022 mailing list.
