Science and Maths Teachers Conference
26 and 27 June 2013
This summer the University of Manchester will host an exciting new series of conferences for teachers of maths and science subjects. Through these conferences we aim to pass the spark of inspiration from our researchers to you and then into your classrooms. We want to inspire you and your pupils about cutting edge research in biology, chemistry, maths and physics.
The conference spans two days, and you can attend one or both of these days depending on your interests and responsibilities:
26 June 2013: Biology and Chemistry Focus
27 June 2013: Maths and Physics Focus
