Medical Research Scotland Academy 2026

The Medical Research Scotland Academy is an interactive online learning series for S4, S5 and S6 pupils across Scotland.

In March 2026, Medical Research Scotland will bring cutting-edge medical science into your classroom.

The Medical Research Scotland Academy webinar series returns with four free, interactive sessions designed to spark curiosity and help explore career and further education opportunities in STEM.

The free virtual events will take place on Friday mornings throughout March 2026, and we are inviting pupils in S4, S5 and S6 to attend four sessions from the comfort of their classrooms.

The virtual series features live talks from medical researchers and scientists – sharing their medical breakthroughs and career journeys. It will introduce pupils to medical research specialisms including toxicology, imaging, nutrition, cancer research and more.

How do you access it? We will be streaming live into classrooms each Friday with a catch-up option that can be viewed on YouTube and Vimeo:

  • Dates: Friday 6th, 13th, 20th, 27th March 2026

Tip for teachers: these sessions can complement curriculum topics in science, biology, chemistry and physics by helping pupils connect classroom learning to real-world applications. They can also be connected with career information advice and guidance.
