INSTITUTE OF PHYSICS: PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT GRANT PROGRAMME

The Institute of Physics has announced that its public engagement grant scheme has re-opened for applications. Through the public engagement grant scheme grants of up to £1,500 are available to individuals and organisations running physics-based events and activities in the UK and Ireland.

The Institute's grant scheme aims to encourage and support the development of projects that raise public awareness of and engagement with contemporary physics; inspire and enthuse public audiences, especially those not previously interested in physics; reach audiences beyond the classroom; and develop the science communication skills of individuals.

The grant scheme is open to all and provides funding for individuals and organisations to organise public engagement with physics activities. This includes, but is not limited to, members of the Institute of Physics, researchers in academia or industry, museums, community groups, not-for-profit organisations, arts groups and libraries.

The closing date for applications will be 12 noon on the 22nd April 2013
