Participate actively: do you have an idea that you think could positively affect the culture of research? Do you want to be part of a movement to change research culture for the better? Then pitch your idea to us.
This competition is an exclusive opportunity to pitch an idea or scheme to improve research culture in the UK and potentially receive a small grant to support its implementation. Submitted ideas will be shortlisted and the groups or individuals behind the top three will be invited to pitch them on stage at Research culture: changing expectations. A panel of judges will challenge and probe the pitches before deciding whether to award a small grant to support its implementation.
The Royal Society is looking for brilliant and innovative minds to help improve research culture. You can apply whether you are an early career researcher, technician, industry researcher, senior leader, business support officer, entrepreneur or professor. The idea proposed could be big or small and come from either an individual or a group. However, you may not enter on behalf of an organisation or society.
Entrants are asked to fill in the application form before 7 September. Full details of the competition and application process online.
