Researchers carry out their school placement at any time during the school year.
Some researchers choose to return to their former school to work in familiar surroundings. Others opt for a school close to their university. Many researchers will be participating for the second time this year and will bring their experiences and insights with them into a new school. I think the scheme is brilliant. The Researchers in Residence Biosciences scheme was launched in 1997 to enable PhD students to spend four days working alongside teachers and pupils in school.
