The aim is to highlight the achievements of STFC’s science and technology, demonstrating the excitement of research and the value of STEM to the UK.

Scientific scope

Proposed programmes must clearly focus around the remit of the STFC, which includes astronomy, solar and planetary science, particle physics, particle astrophysics, cosmology, nuclear physics and accelerator science.

PI eligibility

Awards may also be appropriate when the awareness of the social, cultural, or economic impacts of STFC science and technology are significantly heightened. Successful applicants are expected to interact with STFC’s public engagement and communication teams, including participation in STFC networks and events.
