British Science Week 2025
10th March 2025
British Science Week is a ten-day celebration of science, technology, engineering and maths taking place from 7-16 March 2025.
Led by the British Science Association, the awareness week provides a platform to stimulate and support teachers, STEM professionals, science communicators and the general public to produce and participate in STEM events and activities.
British Science Week 2025 is supported by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), which is the agency that brings together the seven Research Councils, Innovate UK and Research England. Funding from UKRI enables the BSA to deliver the core British Science Week activity; large grassroots campaign that aims to reach a diverse range of audiences, including those from disadvantaged communities and people who would not usually engage in science.
As the professional body for Sports and Exercise Sciences, we’re celebrating the week with the voices of our Chartered Scientists.
BASES Accredited Sport and Exercise Scientists are eligible to become Chartered Scientists, having demonstrated the required competencies through the BASES Accreditation application process.
Chartered Scientist represents a single chartered mark for all scientists, recognising high levels of professionalism and competence in science. BASES has been a Licensed Member Body of the Science Council since 2013, enabling it to award Chartered Scientist status to members who meet the criteria.
