Develop grant writing skills and be successful in a highly competitive grant market! With a couple of high value grants rounds currently open for STEM engagement practitioners, our next Lightning Lunch at 12pm on Tuesday 27 October 2020 will be all about how to win grants. Hear from our experienced guest speakers as they present 5 minute talks then share ideas with colleagues in small breakout rooms.
This session aims to provide you with practical ideas that will help you craft successful grant applications.
Hear from industry leaders on what the policy intentions of STEM engagement grants are, including for the recently announced Women in STEM and Entrepreneurship grants worth up to $200,000 (closing 17 November 2020) and the National Science Week grants worth up to $20,000 (closing 28 October 2020).
Learn what you need to do to ensure that any grant application you prepare demonstrates your capacity to deliver the intended outcomes.
