Criteria For Giving

Our community support programme is overseen by a committee which aims to be professional, sympathetic, impartial and systematic. That must include a firm and clear statement of what we can and cannot support, subject to available funds and the balance of our existing community work.

 

We can support activities which are aligned to:

 

Science for a Better Life

Support of frontier research in the life sciences for example through science achievement awards or unrestricted research grants.

  • Development of science talents, e.g. through fellowship programmes or talent awards
  • Science education in schools among children and teenagers, by supporting science teacher projects, science summer schools or hands on lab sessions.
  • Science and Society, e.g. external activities to engage with general public and raise scientific awareness
