Opportunity: Exhibit at the Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition 2009, c/d 20 October 2008
The Royal Society is inviting proposals from commercial and academic organisiations for the 2009 Summer Science Exhibition, its most prestigious annual event. The Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition 2009 will take place from Tuesday 30 June - Saturday 4 July at the Royal Society in London.

It also attracts a great deal of media interest so it is a chance to really put your institution in the scientific spotlight. Typically, over 4,000 visitors attend the exhibition each year and in 2008 there were over 14,000 visitors to the Exhibition’s website. Propose an exhibit via the Society's website by the closing date of 20 October 2008.
