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.
