This opportunity is open to staff of Ecsite member organisations developing public engagement initiatives in the fields of astrophysics, nanoscience, neuroscience, and theoretical physics. Applications will be reviewed by members of the Annual Conference Programme Committee, with the following criteria:

  • Priority will be given to applicants who did not attend the Ecsite Annual Conference in the past three years.
  • Individual learnings and motivation, as stated in the application.
  • Benefits for the organisation, as stated in the application.
