Grants to Promote Physics 2000 Round 2

Organising an exciting physics-based event in 2000 but need further 
funding?  The Institute of Physics is offering a second round of 
small grants to support activities promoting physics.  Any type of 
physics-based activity is eligible, for example lecture 
demonstrations, interactive science days and science theatre 
performances.  The grants are primarily for events in 2000, but are 
also applicable for events that are planned for the annual Edinburgh 
Science Festival in 2001.  Grants awarded will normally be no more 
than £500.

Grant forms should be returned by 31 July 2000.  Decisions will be 
made and grants issued by the end of August 2000.
