The Institute Of Physics - Public Engagement Grant Scheme
Created: 10/03/2025
News/Events Category: Funding and Finance
This item will show under the following categories: Children and Families
The Public Engagement Grant Scheme (PEGS) aims to support the Institute of Physics (IOP) Limit Less campaign by improving the relationship with physics of young people and their influencers, including their parents and carers. This could be by showcasing relatable role models of those doing physics, actively challenging stereotypes and preconceptions, sharing positive messages about physics, and more!
The grant looks to prioritise projects that reach families with young people under the age of 16 who identify with one or more of the following groups currently under-represented in the physics community:
- Girls and young women
- Disabled young people
- LGBT+ young people
- Young people from disadvantaged backgrounds
- Black Caribbean young people
There are two funds available:
Seed Fund
IOP is trialling the introduction of a Seed Fund to bring together non-physicist and physicist participants and develop a full grant application.
The fund can be used to facilitate communication and build common ground between new partners, from which a full public engagement grant application could arise.
Please note, this funding is to support the development of new partnership and is not provided to conduct public engagement activities.
For more information, and to see if you meet the eligibility criteria, download the supporting document on the Seed Fund.
The closing date for applications is Monday 31 March 2025.
Main Fund
The Public Engagement Grant Scheme (PEGS) aims to support the IOP Limit Less initiative by funding projects that engage whole family groups (including parents/carers) to improve their relationship with physics.
For more information, and to see if you meet their eligibility criteria, download the supporting document on the Main Fund.
The closing date for applications is Monday 01 September 2025.

- A community group
- A not-for-profit organisation
