Dear Colleague
Did you know that the Wellcome Trust, a major funder of biomedical research, also funds research and activities to the value of £3 million per year to stimulate public interest in biomedical science?
We are running Engaging Science workshops to:
* inform you about this grants programme;
* show you examples of previous project objectives;
* outline details of the application process.
Our Next Regional Workshop:
Edinburgh
Monday, 21 June 2004
Scotch Whisky Heritage Centre
To book please mailto:[log in to unmask]
There will be two workshops held at the following times: 10.00-12.30 or 14.00-16.30
On booking, please include your contact information and specify any special requirements you may have. Once your booking is received you will be sent an e-mail booking confirmation within two weeks. Please note that places are limited and that there is no charge for this workshop.
Why is the money available?
So people like you can arrange and produce:
* workshops, talks, discussions and events in public venues;
* arts projects for a variety of different audiences and age groups;
* teaching materials or techniques to stimulate wider discussion;
* activities of another format.
What should these activities achieve?
These activities should:
* stimulate public interest in biomedical science;
* inform and facilitate public debate about biomedical science;
* improve understanding of the social, ethical, historical and cultural
context of biomedical science.
We particularly welcome novel and imaginative projects - as well as collaborative and interdisciplinary approaches. Partnerships, for example, between scientists and artists, or ethicists and educators are encouraged. Projects involving partnerships with other organizations may also be funded.
2004 Workshops
Two regional workshops have been held so far this year in the South East (London) and the North West (Manchester) of England. Additional workshops are planned for later this year (dates and locations to be confirmed).
