National Science Week

Secure up to $500 for your public National Science Week event this August. Events take many forms, creatively communicating how science is a vital part of our everyday lives by engaging an interest in the areas of science, technology, engineering and innovation.

To be eligible for the grant, your event needs to be open to the general public, and to take place in Tasmania (regional venues are encouraged!) between August 15-23 this year – though if your event is the week before or after these dates, don’t worry, you can still apply.

If you’re a school holding a private event (students and school community only, not open to everyone in the public), you must apply for an ASTA grant instead (check website for open and close dates).

If you need advice or assistance with your application, please email jenni.klaus@utas.edu.au.
Applications close 9 April 2019.
