STFC Leadership Fellows in Public Engagement undertake high quality programmes of engagement and outreach while concurrently acting as champions for the value and practice of engagement with research in their host institution and research community. Proposed engagement programmes must clearly focus around the remit of the STFC science programme (astronomy, solar and planetary science, particle physics, particle astrophysics, cosmology, nuclear physics and accelerator science) or clearly and demonstrably align to the science and technology work of STFC鈥檚 national and international laboratories and facilities. Fellowships will not be awarded unless there is a strong and demonstrable link between the proposed activities and STFC science and technology. STFC intends Leadership Fellows in Public Engagement to play a prominent role in raising the standards of public engagement – either in their host department, institution, and/or wider research community, and to champion the value of public engagement with research. A substantial proportion of time (at least 25%) of every Leadership Fellowship application must be dedicated to activities the applicant considers to be dedicated to leadership and capacity building. Applicants are required to propose activities tailored to their working environment or community networks, and explain why such approaches are appropriate. Where evidence exists as to an institution or community鈥檚 existing attitudes towards engagement, this should be cited to present a strong case. |
