Applications for British Science Week 2025 grants are open and close on 5 November 2024.

British Science Week grants

Thanks to the support of UK Research and Innovation, every year we offer two grant schemes to support British Science Week events and activities: one for schools and one for community groups.

Kick Start Grants

 

This scheme offers grants for schools in challenging circumstances to enable them to organise their own events as part of British Science Week.

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.
