The ‘Mission to Mars’ project will give the students chance to design and promote their own interactive display, to promote innovative laboratory products alongside leading industry suppliers at Science World 2013.

14 students from Delisle College in Loughborough will work with members of the Fisher Scientific marketing and promotions team, to hone their creative and business skills and gain valuable experience in the commercial world.

They are at a crucial point in their education and gaining professional experience in this way is invaluable”

“We are already impressed by the students’ ideas and professionalism” said Emily Quinton, Marketing Communications Manager and European event coordinator for Fisher Scientific. “We have every confidence that they will produce a brilliant display at the event and are delighted to provide them with this opportunity”.
