Hello all
 
INGENIOUS
A grants programme for demonstration, training and development projects to raise public awareness of engineering
 
There are two levels of funding available:
 
Activities and Development grants (£4,000 to £40,000)   
 
Grants available to science/engineering communicators, engineers, educators, CPD providers and arts organisations. Projects can take one of two formats:
 
-          Activity projects that raise society's awareness of the science, art, practice and impact of engineering
For example: a debate series on future energy sources; events on the art of engineering; digital activities on sports engineering. All projects must involve engineers in their development and delivery to encourage shared learning.
-          Development projects that design and deliver bespoke public engagement training courses, seminars and workshops for engineers
For example: residential courses on 'Public engagement theory and practice'; workshops on 'Arts and creativity in engineering'; forums on the ‘Philosophy of engineering’
Individual grants (up to £2,000)
 
Grants available to engineers from academia, business or industry to attend existing training courses, workshops, seminars, conferences or festivals related to public engagement, public policy or engineering and its impact on society
