Are you worried that the public ignore research?  Or concerned that not enough young people pursue research careers?  The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) has a range of funding available to help you make a difference.

The British Science Association is running a series of workshops for scientists who currently hold, or plan to apply for, one of the public engagement awards available to EPSRC-funded scientists.  These include the Partnerships for Public Engagement (PPE) awards, Senior Media Fellowships and the Public Communications Training fund.

At these workshops you will:

• Find out more about the grants available
• Get tips on making your application
• Meet other grant holders and be inspired by what they do
• Network with other scientists in your subject area
• Find out about other public engagement opportunities in your area

NEWS: Statement from EPSRC:

"As part of an ongoing review of how we allocate our resources, EPSRC will no longer be funding public engagement activities via the Partnerships for Public Engagement (PPE) Scheme. As a consequence, the PPE call planned for this autumn will not go ahead."
