I’m new to Psci-Com, and just wanted to let you know about Scottish
Executive funding available for science communication projects in Scotland.
The Scottish Executive’s ‘Science and Society’ budget provides grants for
science communication projects that would not go ahead without public
funding. In the past these have included science festivals, schools
outreach projects, public lecture programmes and discussion events,
science summer camps, science education programmes, and professional
development events for science communicators.
For 2006/07 we have £140,000 available, and only in exceptional
circumstances would grants of more than £25,000 be awarded to individual
projects. We are particularly keen to hear about innovative projects that
reach new audiences in Scotland (eg not just 7-11 years olds in the
cities), highlight contemporary science issues, and feature collaborations
with other organisations.
The funding is available for project costs up to the end of the financial
year – 31 March 2007. Deadline for receipt of applications is 30 June
2006. For an Application Form and Guidelines please email me at
