British Ecological Society Outreach Grants

These encourage individuals and organisations to promote ecological science to a wider audience through the organisation of public engagement events in ecology. Grants support projects that:

•increase public understanding of, and engagement with, ecology;

•stimulate discussion about ecology and its implications for society;

•inspire and enthuse people of all ages about the science of ecology, especially those not previously interested;

•develop skills in communicating the science of ecology.

Individuals and organisations, including society members, researchers, schools, museums, libraries and community groups, may apply. Objectives must be aimed at a non-academic audience and provide a clear demonstration of direct interaction with the public.

Grants are worth up to £2,000 each.
