Young researcher zone

The Young researcher zone, open weekdays during the exhibition, showcases investigative work being undertaken by school students across the UK as part of the Royal Society’s Partnership Grants scheme. Visit the zone to speak with the students about their work and try the exciting interactive activities they have created. This year, the zone includes showcasing a collaborative project that has involved over 30 schools that have studied the genetic differences of various daffodil and snowdrop species.

The Partnership Grants funds schools and colleges up to £3,000 to run investigative STEM projects in partnership with STEM professionals from academia or industry. Find out more about the Partnership Grants scheme (including Tomorrow's Climate Scientists) or email the Schools Engagement team. The Partnership Grant scheme started in 2000 and has since provided over £3 million in funding to more than 1,200 schools across the United Kingdom.
