Chartered Scientists (CSci) demonstrate effective leadership, using
their specialist knowledge and broader scientific understanding to
develop and improve the application of science and technology by
scoping, planning and managing multifaceted projects.
Chartership as a scientist reflects the wide variety of sciences and
their practice, recognising high levels of skill and experience,
independent of discipline.
Once registered, you must maintain your status through meeting continuing professional development (CPD) requirements each year.
