Hello all

 

Notice below re: The Royal Academy of Engineering's Public Engagement Awards and Fellowships:

 

Ingenious - engaging citizens; engaging engineers

 

Closing Date - 5th December 2008

 

Two streams of funding are available:

 

Public Engagement Activities and Development Awards

 

These Awards offer funding for projects that enhance the public engagement skills of engineers and provide opportunities to engage in debate with the public (both young people and adults) on engineering and its impact on society:

 

Activity projects provide opportunities for engineers to gain experiential learning in public engagement by taking part in their development and delivery.

 

Development projects design and deliver bespoke public engagement training courses, seminars and workshops for engineers.

 

NEW - Public Engagement Fellowships

 

The Public Engagement Fellowship scheme is open to excellent early/mid-stage career engineers (from academia or industry) to:

 

· explore the implications of engineering for society

· build dialogue with the public, policy makers and other stakeholders

· gain knowledge and skills in engaging with the public and the public policy process.

 

The awards can cover salary, training course or conference fees and associated travel and subsistence expenses and costs for public engagement activities.

Best wishes
