Royal Society of Chemistry Outreach Fund 2022: Open for applications 

About the Outreach Fund

The Outreach Fund provides financial support to members, individuals and organisations in order to enable them to run chemistry-based public and schools engagement activities.

The aim of the fund is to support projects that:

• Develop science communication skills of chemists – building capacity and opportunities for chemists and chemical scientists to engage with schools and/or public audiences
• Engage with school students – inspiring and raising aspirations of student audiences to nurture a future generation passionate about the chemical sciences
• Engage with public audiences – involving a wide range of people in relevant contemporary issues in the chemical sciences
• Provide under-represented audiences, communities and places with inspiring chemistry engagement opportunities, delivered or coordinated by skilled people

Please note: the Royal Society of Chemistry are especially interested in receiving applications for projects themed around sustainability.
