Opportunities for young people to experience a scientific working environment firsthand
We offer opportunities for young people to experience a scientific working environment firsthand through our work experience weeks. As the Rosalind Franklin Institute is an interdisciplinary institute, rather than focusing on one specific project during their placement with us, students have the opportunity to rotate between different research groups. Students experience how different aspects of science work together to achieve a common goal.
Bringing science to life and inspiring wonder
At the Franklin we aim to bring science to life, inspire wonder and open up the possibility of careers in science. Discover some of the ways that we engage with local groups, learn at home with some of our online activities.
At the Franklin we want to show that science is for everyone, a passion for science can spark with a moment of wonder and we hope to provide these moments at our events.
