Grants Scheme
The Sciencewise grant
scheme is an important new initiative from the Government’s Office of
Science and Technology (OST) to provide funding for projects that help
to achieve greater public confidence in and improved engagement with
science and technology. The objective is to help the Government
and society make better choices about critical areas of new science and
technology that affect people’s lives.
The key aim of Sciencewise is to encourage public
engagement with and dialogue about science and technology-related issues
that can feed into public policy.
Projects supported by the scheme will aim to:
• Encourage collaboration, networking and co-operation between organisations to increase the coherence and impact of engagement and dialogue activities
• Have
national coverage, or be pilot projects that are capable of being scaled
up to reach audiences across the UK
• Widen
participation in engagement and dialogue activities through reaching new
audiences and increasing the effectiveness of existing activity
• Develop and
disseminate good practice in science communication including evaluation
methodology.
