Grants for schools and community groups to run British Science Week

British Science Week grants

Funded by UK Research and Innovation, we offer the below grant schemes to support British Science Week events and activities: two for schools and one for community groups.

New school funding

       

The school funding enables schools in challenging circumstances to engage with research and innovation, and supports students to develop the skills that underpin research and innovation.

Community Grants

This scheme offers grants for community groups working directly with audiences that are traditionally underrepresented and not engaged in science activity. These audiences include:

  • people from ethnic minority backgrounds
  • people living in communities which face deprivation, including people disadvantaged in terms of education and income
  • people with a disability or long-term health condition
  • people living in a remote and rural location, defined as settlements of less than 10,000 people
  • girls and women.
