The Institute Of Physics: Public Engagement Grant
Created: 16/02/2026
News/Events Category: Funding and Finance
The Public Engagement Grant Scheme aims to support the IOP (Institute of Physics) 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
Projects must start in 2026 and should be completed by 31 December 2026.
Who can apply?
The scheme is open to individuals and organisations in the UK and Republic of Ireland that are passionate about promoting engagement with physics. You might be:
- A community group
- A not-for-profit organisation
- An IOP member
- A researcher in academia or industry
- A museum
- A library
- An arts group
How to apply
Applications must be submitted electronically via the online form on the Institute of Physics website.
