Small grants are available to contribute to the British Ecological Society’s Festival of Ecology in 2013
In 2013 The British Ecological Society (BES) will celebrate its centenary with a series of scientific, policy and education events throughout the year, culminating in a public focused Festival of Ecology from June–August 2013. The Society is inviting UK-based organisations to bid for small grants and to contribute to the festival. Applicants are encouraged to think creatively about how to celebrate the science of ecology, with a particular emphasis on encouraging an interest among the wider public.
More information and an application form can be requested from the Society, and the closing date for applications is 16 December 2011.
A panel of science communicators, industry professionals, academics and representatives from BES, will award projects which are the most original, explore the subject of ecology and engage local communities with science. The awards will be announced in February 2012.
