Reid Bursaries
We are delighted to announce the Early Career Scientist Competition for the 27th Reid International Bioanalytical Forum, which will take place at the Cambridge Belfry (Cambourne, UK) between September 6–9, 2027.
For over 50 years, Reid has continued to meet every 2 years, offering an inclusive and congenial setting for bioanalysts to share knowledge, experiences and learn from one another. The meeting provides early career researchers with a great opportunity to interact with others in the diverse field of bioanalytical science.
Bursaries
Winners of the Early Career Scientist Competition will receive bursaries that cover the conference registration fee, travel to the conference and accommodation (as detailed below).

To be in with a chance of being accepted for a bursary, you’ll need to submit a poster or oral presentation abstract. If your abstract is accepted and you have been awarded a bursary, you will be given a password for the bursary category on registration.
