Conference: Minoritised Life Scientists Future Forum at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre (23–26 March 2026)

The Minoritised Life Scientists Future Forum (MLSFF) is an exceptional opportunity for underrepresented students and scientists to showcase their talents, share their research, and engage with a vibrant community of peers and professionals. We warmly invite you to participate in our conference in various ways, ensuring that everyone has the chance to contribute and benefit from this empowering experience.

Inclusive and Encouraging Environment
We recognise that minoritised students often face additional challenges and may feel marginalised or hesitant to step forward. The Future Forum is dedicated to creating an inclusive, welcoming, and supportive environment where your contributions are valued. However you choose to participate, your involvement is equally important and appreciated. You are the next generation of life scientists, and this is your opportunity to connect, empower, and inspire.

We believe that everyone has something valuable to offer, and by participating, you’ll not only gain new knowledge and experiences but also help us build a diverse and inclusive future for life sciences.

Your registration gives you full access to three days of MLSFF at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre (23–26 March 2026). This includes:

Entry to all keynotes, career development sessions, workshops and poster presentations
Networking and mentoring opportunities built into the programme
Exhibition and community spaces to connect with societies, funders, universities and businesses.
Daily lunch plus hot and cold drinks throughout the conference
A place at the conference dinner, included for every delegate
Access to prayer rooms, quiet spaces and accessibility support
We want MLSFF26 to be accessible to everyone. The true cost of a delegate place is more than £900, but thanks to funding and sponsorship we are able to offer heavily subsidised tickets.
