The Biosciences Educators' Network

The Biosciences Educators' Network (BEN), supported by the Heads of University Biosciences (HUBS), provides a UK-wide support network for bioscience educators from all career stages and a forum in which to discuss career progression, fellowship opportunities and pedagogical research. In addition, the network facilitates peer mentoring and mentoring relationships with more experienced colleagues to provide targeted support. The link with HUBS ensures information and initiatives are shared with the wider Biosciences community.

The ongoing aims of BEN are to:

• Help attendees to identify career goals, and the means to gather evidence for applications.
• Signpost individuals towards existing resources (e.g. RSB HE Teacher Career Progression Framework; Advance HE Fellowship Category Tool)
• Establish a mentoring network to support career development in a sustainable way.
