Engaging Science is a grants programme offering over £3 million per year to support projects that engage the public with biomedical science and its social contexts. The Wellcome Trust are offering free grants workshops to those interested in applying to the scheme.
The next workshop will take place on Wednesday 18 November 2009 at the Wellcome Trust, London, from 10.30-17.00.
