Talking Science (Scotland)

Talking Science is a new grants programme aimed at supporting public 
activities and events that get people talking about science, technology, 
and engineering and how they impact on our everyday lives.

Funding will be awarded to projects that take science activities to a 
public audience in rural or remote parts of Scotland, or disadvantaged 
areas in our towns and cities.

Applications may come from community groups, businesses (including sole 
traders), charities, colleges, universities, research institutes, 
visitor attractions, museums, civic groups, local authorities, and any 
other organisation wanting to engage with a public audience on science, 
technology, engineering and maths topics.

Successful projects may involve several organisations working in 
partnership to share best practice and provide good value for money.

The closing date for applications is 1pm on 4 March 2014.
