The Annual Schools Science Conference is organised by science4u.info
The 18th event, Science for the World, is produced in collaboration with University of Westminster.
The event’s main objectives are to:
- Inspire students to study science
- Demonstrate the importance of science in health and everyday life
- Showcase some of the myriad careers open to those who study science.
The conference is exclusively presented by experienced professionals in the fields of science and healthcare, and attracts around 350 students from London secondary schools and further education colleges (years 9-11) along with their teachers.
The backbone of the conference is made up of 80-100 enthusiastic volunteer scientists from various sectors, including NHS, academia, public sectors, industry, and commerce, who provide engaging hands-on displays.
However, in 2021, a smaller-scale event was held online. The whole content of this conference is available within these pages.
