To be eligible to apply for the 2009 perspectives scheme, applicants must be:

  • a postgraduate or postdoctoral scientist, social scientist or engineer funded by one of the UK Research Councils
  • available to attend one of three summer workshops in London (1, 7 & 16 July)

Applications from former finalists will not be considered.

Research does not have to be application driven; we especially encourage scientists involved in pure research to apply.
