British Ecological Society: Outreach and Engagement Grants
Created: 23/01/2026
News/Events Category: Funding and Finance
Grants are available to deliver independent outreach, public engagement and science communication activities that engage public audiences with the excitement, importance and relevance of ecological science or enhance the experience and skills of others to communicate ecology with public audiences.
The grant will support diverse formats that reach and engage public audiences in innovative, creative and impactful ways, whether through in-person events, digital formats, or physical resources.
All grants must be for projects that meet at least one of the top-level British Ecological Society (BES) aims:
- Communicate evidence-based messaging for what ecology is, how nature works, and the use of ecological science as a solution to local and global challenges
- Raise awareness and public understanding of ecological careers, their relevance and importance, breadth, and diversity, and show that anybody can become an ecologist
- Share how individuals can take action to benefit the environment, themselves, and society
- Increase the ability of others to deliver the above aims through outreach and engagement activities
Who can apply?
The lead applicant must have a BES membership.
Awards are open to individuals, teams and organisations across all experience levels to organise ecological public engagement events. Collaborations between two or more people are also welcome.
How to apply
Register and apply using the online grant system on the British Ecological Society website.
The closing date for applications is Tuesday 10 March 2026.
