Education Policy Lunchbox

Education Policy Lunchbox

 

From the success of Policy Lunchbox comes Education Policy Lunchbox, a joint initiative between the Biochemical Society, the British Ecological Society and the Society for Experimental Biology. 2010 saw the start of a series of lunchtime events which highlight key issues in science education policy and bring together those who work to address them. Events are free to attend and lunch is provided. Please note that places are limited and must be reserved in advance.

 

If you would like to attend, please email Gemma.Garrett@biochemistry.org
