We are looking for innovative and creative ideas which will enhance science teaching, from skilled and experienced training providers working alone or in partnership with each other. Whether you deliver CPD training in science or fields such as the arts and humanities, PSHE and Citizenship, IT and new media, we would like to hear from you. We expect to develop up to 25 innovative courses across all phases and scientific disciplines, including courses focusing on traditionally hard to reach groups, investigative skills at all Key Stages, discursive skills for secondary teachers and science in society. Funding application forms and guidance are available on www.wellcome.ac.uk/creativescience from Monday 10 February. An Information and Networking Day on 3 March in Central London will facilitate new partnerships and explore and stimulate creative ideas. If you are interested in attending on 3 March please contact us by Friday 14 February. E-mail: [log in to unmask] or download a registration form now from www.wellcome.ac.uk/creativescience
