An opportunity for RSB Fellows to attend an annual event organised to strengthen the dialogue between the scientific community, MPs and Peers.

Parliamentary Links Day is the largest science event on the annual parliamentary events calendar. It is organised by the Royal Society of Biology on behalf of the science and engineering community to strengthen dialogue with parliament, and to provide MPs with a more rounded understanding of the scientific issues we face.

This year the event will be a ‘drop-in' style opportunity to network with PSG members and parliamentarians, including a short welcome speech and networking, followed by light lunch.
