RSC Outreach Fund

9 July 2026 by in PPIE Funding

The Outreach Fund is open for applications throughout 2026, with rolling deadlines. The final deadline is 2 October 2026 at 1700 UK time. 

We fund a broad range of projects that connect communities from all backgrounds with the chemical sciences.

The public engagement and outreach work we support will bring the chemical sciences closer to people’s lives and people’s lives closer to the chemical sciences. We want our funding to connect communities with the chemical sciences, help bring different people and organisations together to share ideas, develop meaningful partnerships, inspire new ways of working, and encourage dialogue about the importance and role of chemistry for making the world a better place. 

Engagement encompasses many approaches with a range of audiences in different settings – from schools and laboratories to museums and gardens. Our research and reports supporting our Inclusion & Diversity strategy and Future Workforce and Educational Pathways project inform our aims.
