The Science Council sets the professional standards for practising scientists and science technicians, independent of scientific discipline.
At the core of the Science Council’s ethos is the belief that every scientist has a responsibility to society, and themselves, to work with integrity, keep their skills and knowledge up to date and consider how their efforts affect the world around them.
The Science Council works with organisations who commit to promoting and embedding professional standards among their staff, providing an environment in which registrants can meet this responsibility.
The Science Council's professional registers recognise the range of knowledge, experience and professionalism that are sought after by employers and demanded by the public. What's more, they stay valid throughout your career by demonstrating your commitment to your own development.
Applicants need to demonstrate competence across five areas: application of knowledge and understanding, personal responsibility, interpersonal skills, professional practice and professional standards.
