[Postgrad] STFC Public engagement funding - deadline 19th April

[Marco Piani]

Hello,

the Science & Technology Facilities Council has a call for Public Engagement Spark Awards, with deadline 19th April.

Proposed engagement programmes must clearly focus around the remit of the STFC science programme (astronomy, solar and planetary science, particle physics, particle astrophysics, cosmology, nuclear physics and accelerator science) or clearly and demonstrably align to the science and technology work of STFC’s national and international laboratories and facilities.

More details at

http://www.stfc.ac.uk/public-engagement/public-engagement-grants/pe-funding-opportunities/stfc-public-engagement-spark-awards/

Some snippets of relevant information includes the following:

STFC Spark Award holders undertake high quality programmes of novel public engagement that inspire and involve target audiences with stories of STFC science and technology.

Spark Awards will not be awarded unless there is a strong and demonstrable link between the proposed activities and STFC science and technology.

Almost anyone can apply for a Spark Award, including grant funded researchers, STFC scientists and engineers, facility users, schools, museums, science communicators, and amateur astronomy groups.

Best regards,

Marco
