We are excited to announce the Early Career Scientist competition for the 26th Reid International Bioanalytical Forum, which will take place from the 8th–11th of September 2025 at the Cambridge Belfry (Cambourne, UK).

This meeting provides early career researchers with a great opportunity to interact with others in the diverse field of bioanalytical science, in an informal and friendly environment. 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.

After attending the meeting, all winners will be required to contribute to a short special feature that will be published in Bioanalysis and Bioanalysis Zone. To read the interviews of previous winners from 2023 visit Bioanalysis Zone.
