Spectroscopy in a Suitcase

Our Spectroscopy in a Suitcase programme was discontinued in 2020, but you can still explore related resources

Spectroscopy in a Suitcase (SIAS) was discontinued in 2020. We are extremely proud of the impact that SIAS had on schools that engaged with the scheme and utilised the equipment.

After a thorough review of the programme, we believe that in order to continue to improve the support we offer, particularly for disadvantaged and underrepresented communities, we need to adopt a new approach, focusing on deeper, longer-term initiatives designed to support teaching and learning.

For further outreach opportunities, contact your local education coordinator. Alternatively, if you have any questions about the SIAS programme, email us.
