Reid Early Career Scientist Competition


We are welcoming entries to our Early Career Scientist competition for the 25th Reid International Bioanalytical Forum. This exciting and dynamic meeting is scheduled to take place on 4th to 7th September 2023 at the Cambridge Belfry (Cambourne, UK).

The Reid Bioanalytical Forum provides Early Career Researchers with the opportunity to interact with others in the diverse field of bioanalytical science, in an informal and friendly environment. We are therefore excited to offer Early Career Scientists and Researchers an opportunity to experience the Reid Forum for themselves. Winners will receive bursaries that cover registration and up to £1000 travel and accommodation. There will also be runner-up prizes covering meeting registration.

“I think the Reid [Bioanalytical forum] is a great conference for early careers researchers to attend, the content covered is cutting edge. Having arrived nervous, I whole heartedly left feeling inspired.” – Reid Bursary Winner & Attendee 2022
