NatSCA2020 and Covid-19
Due to the rapidly evolving situation relating to Covid-19, the NatSCA trustees have taken the decision to postpone our annual conference and AGM which was planned for 14th-15th May 2020.
We hope to schedule an alternative date once the situation has become more stable and we will keep speakers and members informed of progress.
This is not a decision that has been taken lightly, and we apologise to all those affected. We hope that our speakers will be available at a later date.
A day exploring natural science collections aimed at those who have little to no experience or knowledge of working with them.
Have you ever wanted to find out more about natural science collections, their care and use? Are you a non-specialist in need of some information on how to facilitate more access to natural science collections? Answer yes to either of these questions and this day is FOR YOU.
