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. The four days can be organized as flexibly as necessary.
