EMERGING STEM TALENT

Why should you attend?

We've been asking students what they want since 1995. This September we start asking the next cohort, and we're spending the afternoon looking at what's changed, what stubbornly hasn't, and what it means for your 2027/28 planning.

This is the month we launch the survey to students again. The answers they give become the dataset you'll be planning 2027/28 around when it lands in March.

So, it felt like the right moment to stop and take the long view. Three decades of student voice, from the first surveys in the 90’s under the previous name Trendence, to the cohort we're surveying this year. What's genuinely shifted, what's turned out to be remarkably durable, and where is the next dataset is pointing.
