Getting young people into science is a constant refrain in the media, yet retaining people who have chosen scientific careers is no less important. So I was really pleased to launch a pilot for a Continuing Professional Development (CPD) scheme for scientists in the Agency.  I encourage all scientists in the Agency to develop their scientific skills and expertise I believe this is a good opportunity for them as well as the organisation.

I am looking forward to working with the Institute of Food Science & Technology, which is going to run the pilot.  IFST are the professional body representing food scientists and bring experience of working on CPD schemes with other organisations.  The pilot will run for a year until April 2009 and then we hope to make this available to all scientists in the Agency.
