Discover Science & Engineering Puts Out Sponsorship Call
Posted on March 6th, 2009 in DSE News
Discover Science & Engineering (DSE) is Sponsorship available to promote mathematics, second level science, careers in science and engineering and Science Week festivals. DSE is offering support to those working to promote the physical sciences and mathematics in Ireland and has put out a call for sponsorship proposals which fall under the following strategic themes:
• Mathematics
• Second level science
• Science and engineering careers promotion
• Science Week Festivals
Proposals should be aligned to these themes. The submission deadline is 3 April 2009.
If you are planning or developing a significant project, of value greater than €10,000, to promote one or more of the strategic themes above but need assistance with funding it, then DSE may be able to help by providing part-funding of up to 50% of the total cost.
To apply, complete the application form available on science.ie (at the bottom of the page) and send it electronically to DSE by the deadline below.
Key information to be supplied includes:
• An outline of the project
• The audience that you are targeting
• Demonstrated alignment to at least one of the strategic themes
• Your proposal for measuring the success and impact of the project
Projects that can be replicated cost-effectively or will become self-sustaining over a short period of time are encouraged.
Successful projects should commence in 2009 and preferably be fully completed within 12 months and not later than the end of September 2010.
DSE is an integrated campaign hosted at Forfás, working on behalf of the Office of Science and Technology in association with the Department of Education and Science, Engineers Ireland and IBEC, along with many other groups involved in science and mathematics promotion nationwide.
The Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) sectors are fundamental to Ireland’s economic success and offer progressive, challenging and rewarding career options. The Discover Science & Engineering (DSE) programme is building awareness amongst young people of the value of the physical sciences and mathematics in Ireland while also fostering a culture of scientific and technological innovation.
