Catalyst needs your help - Are you an SME who would like to encourage science take up among students of school age?

Catalyst has been given support by the ERDF to work with 18 SMEs to engage more young people with science and technology, and in particular chemistry, to help encourage a greater up take of science amongst students of school age.

Catalyst is not seeking sponsorship or donations for these opportunities. It is charged with delivering this work and needs to work in partnership with SMEs to achieve its objectives.

This assistance should help encourage more young people to enter into the North West’s high skills science economy and help meet the demand for science-based knowledge in the workforce of tomorrow.

Can you provide any of the following?

*  Personnel who can work at the bench delivering hands on activities that demonstrate the process or product.

* Senior support to allow staff to spend time with the Catalyst team.

 * Specialist resources if required in the activity – for example specialist equipment or materials that Catalyst would not otherwise have access to.
