Call summary
The Royal Society invites applications for its public engagement fund. This enables Royal Society research fellows to create and lead public engagement projects based on their research. Funding is available for any public engagement activity designed for a non-scientific, public audience that meets the application criteria. Projects should have clear aims, target specific audiences and provide an opportunity for open dialogue and two-way communication between scientific researchers and the project’s target audience. Grants are worth between £500 and £10,000 each for up to two years. Funding can be used to buy materials, cover travel costs, support collaborations, pay for relevant training and to hire specific expertise.
