SSERC is the partner for the Nuffield Research Placement programme in Scotland and we invite employers to this online session to find out more about NRP and how your organisation can participate in the programme.

Nuffield Research Placements provide engaging, hands-on research projects, where S5 pupils have the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution towards the work of a host organisation through a well-supervised but independent research collaboration relating to an area of science, quantitative social science, computing, technology, engineering or maths (or a combination).

Placements will take place during the summer of 2022, with 2 weeks in-person working with an industry or university/college partner and up to 2 weeks online completing additional planning and research work.

This session will take place on MS Teams and will cover an introduction to Nuffield Research Placements, outlining key dates and what it involves. You will also hear of the experience of a project supervisor who provided an online Nuffield Placement in 2021 and from a supervisor who provided a face to face Nuffield Placement in 2020.
