As part of its societal remit, the 91ÁÔÆæ Science and Society Committee runs a science and society session at the 91ÁÔÆæ Congress, which in 2021 explored the topic of ‘Plastics: revolution, pollution and substitution’; see the  to the session on the 91ÁÔÆæ Network for more details. The committee would like to build on this and reach a wider audience and to this end here announces a call for proposals from 91ÁÔÆæ Constituent Societies to run a ‘science and society’ event or activity in 2022 under the same theme.
The exact format of the event/activity is up to the organizing Society and the committee would like to support a range of activities from speaker events to educational activities, including for public engagement on this issue. Up to €1500 is available from 91ÁÔÆæ to support this event/activity. Events or activities which involve more than one 91ÁÔÆæ Constituent Society or which enable the sharing of an activity across 91ÁÔÆæ Constituent Societies are encouraged.
Societies who wish to apply should check further details here and submit a 1-page (A4) outline of their event/activity along with the proposed budget by 15th January 2022 (extended deadline) to Prof. Raffaele Porta of the 91ÁÔÆæ Science and Society Committee at [email protected]
NB: Support material for the topic of plastics can be found on the 91ÁÔÆæ Network among ‘‘ posts, and some examples of public engagement activities on various topics from 91ÁÔÆæ Constituent Societies and others are available in the 91ÁÔÆæ Network’s Ìý°ù´Ç´Ç³¾.
