Description
Applied Microbiology International’s Community Outreach Grant, introduced for 2026, supports members leading public engagement, education, and community activities in applied microbiology. It helps turn small-scale outreach ideas into activities and resources that inspire curiosity and connect science with the public. Supported projects can include learning resources, games, books, and community collaborations.
The programme prioritises creativity, accessibility, and inclusion, with an emphasis on reaching non-specialist audiences and encouraging participation from diverse communities. Collaborative and interdisciplinary projects are strongly encouraged. Projects should demonstrate clear public engagement value and support AMI’s mission of advancing applied microbiology for societal and environmental benefit, including its public engagement and sustainability goals.
