The Victorian Coordinating Committee for National Science Week is re-thinking how to celebrate the Week the August. Due to the uncertainty of the situation in the coming months, we regret to advise that the National Science Week Victorian Seed Grant Program will no longer open for applications.

We understand that this will impact communities who have great ideas for National Science Week, but regrettably, we will be unable to financially support communities looking to hold events.

We are currently discussing alternatives for creating more online content through the Royal Society of Victoria’s channels to bring the science into people’s homes and share stories of science from communities across Victoria. We are devising new ways to involve you and your community in our exploration of virtual scientific story-telling and ask that you please bare with us during this process.

If you would like to stay in touch with the program as we pivot to new modes of delivery and new opportunities for your involvement, please ensure you’re on our mailing list.

Meanwhile, stay safe, be well, and do what you can to support those who need it most.
