Thanks Rick,
Just to let you and others know that we anticipate running networking activities to help new collaborations to form and I will post here and more broadly to
let you know about these opportunities.
All the best,
Mat

Subject: Re: [PSCI-COM] Science Learning+ | Phase 2 now open
thanks Matt
great to see the next phase of Science Learning+ open for proposals
May I use this call to offer Ignite!'s Community Curiosity Labs as a model for institutions who may be interested in applying to Science Learning+?
Ignite! is not big enough, nor based in an academic institution, to lead on a bid to this programme, but we would be interested in offering our experience of programmes like
Lab_13,
3-2-1-Ignition* Pop-up Shops,
our experience of playing Festivals,
and of course our Community Curiosity Labs as partnership initiatives.
Colleagues can find out about Lab_13 here
https://lab13network.wordpress.com/
and our other programmes here
http://www.ignitefutures.org.uk/
Our aims are to develop confidence in young people and their families in engaging with science and STEM; we draw on concepts like Citizen Science and Science Capital and find ways to realise them in informal
settings where participants take a lead on the kinds of topics that they want to explore.
Please get in touch if you are interested in collaboration or partnership
thanks
Rick

Dear colleagues,
With apologies for cross-posting.
I am delighted to let you know that Phase 2, Partnership Grants, of Science Learning+ is now live.
Science Learning+ is an open call for proposals for Partnership Grants through an international partnership between the US-based National Science Foundation, the UK Economic and
Social Research Council (ESRC) and the Wellcome Trust.
Partnership Grants are expected to be significant programmes of research that will:
·
strengthen the research and knowledge base
·
bridge the practice and research gap and/or
·
share knowledge and experience in informal science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) experiences.
Projects must be a genuine collaboration between researchers and practitioners of informal STEM learning and between organisations in the UK/Ireland and the US. We anticipate making
five awards, each of approximately £1.5M.
This is an open call for proposals – anyone who meets the eligibility requirements may apply.
Further details of the call are available on the Wellcome Trust website
wellcome.ac.uk/slplus.
Should you wish to discuss the scheme further, please email
