The Edinburgh International Science Festival has a fund of £10,000 on offer for two or more creative projects which they can include in the 2018 festival. And the deadline for applications is looming – 10 October 2017.
If you are a designer, technologist or artist then this might be for you, particularly if you work in the field of life sciences and have a project to deliver on the theme of life.
The 2018 festival runs from 31 March to 15 April 2018 when the theme is Life, the Universe and Everything. The idea is to celebrate the wonder and diversity of life.
Powered by EDF Energy this is Europe’s biggest Science Festival and your proposal would potentially have a large family audience. It would be part of the free exhibition programme at Summerhall and the National Museum of Scotland.
Proposals will be reviewed and selected by a panel, facilitated by Edinburgh International Science Festival, using the following criteria:
– The quality, creativity and originality of the proposed project.
– The clarity of interaction between the proposed project and the theme of life.
– The likelihood that your proposed idea can be delivered within your budget.
– Evidence of the ability and commitment of those involved to deliver the project on time.
The submission deadline is 5pm Tuesday 10 October 2017 and the successful projects will be announced in mid October.
