Following a successful Evaluation (PDF 311KB) in 2006, the BA wishes to expand the CREST scheme significantly whilst maintaining the high quality of CREST at the different award levels (Bronze, Silver and Gold).

The BA wishes to increase the number of partners that it works with, supporting the STEM national report that highlights collaboration and cooperation is the key to successful future development of national STEM activities.
