For NSEW 2011, the Scottish Government are providing funds for organisations in Scotland to organise their own science and engineering events as part of the week.

Awards
Grants of up to £500 will be awarded.

Any organisation based in Scotland is eligible to apply but preference will be given to:

• Events which target new and hard to reach audiences.
• Local authority areas not hosting a science festival funded by the Scottish Government.
• Organisations which have not received a similar grant previously or have not been involved in running science events.
• Events that would not otherwise be able to take place due to lack of funding.
• Events that have a great potential for raising the profile of NSEW locally and/or have broad media appeal.
• An activity that directly promotes British Science Association activities or benefits the British Science Association members

Please read the full grant details for the full eligibility criteria and priorities (link on the right hand side of this page).

To apply please complete the on-line application form (link on the right hand side of this page). Please read the full grant details before applying for the grant.

The closing date is the 5 November 2010.
