Description
The Anatomical Society’s Council launched this grant in June 2018 to support members’ public engagement and outreach in anatomy. It funds activities such as educational workshops, school projects, exhibitions, festival displays and educational resources that introduce public audiences to human and animal anatomy. Previous projects have used interactive body painting, anatomical models, games, virtual reality and web-based resources.
The program aims to ignite curiosity across age groups and help anatomists share their expertise in innovative ways, particularly with audiences traditionally hard to reach. It also encourages dialogue between researchers and the public about animal research and its relevance to health and medicine. Linking schools with academic experts and supporting primary, secondary and tertiary teaching are further goals.
