Ingenious
Ingenious is a grant scheme for creative public engagement with engineering projects.
If you have an imaginative
idea that helps engineers to communicate their
expertise and passion for engineering to a wider
audience – we want to hear from you. You could be an
engineer interested in running your own project, or
a science and engineering communicator keen to
explore ways to provide public engagement training
and opportunities.
Ingenious has funded over 90 projects to date, providing opportunities for over 1,500 engineers to take part in thought-provoking activities, to gain skills in communication and to bring engineering to the very centre of society.
Find out more about our work in engineering engagement
on our blog. You can also read about previous projects in the
case studies and hear what grant holders and engineers have to say about their
Ingenious experience in
four mini-films.
We welcome proposals from
engineers and engineering organisations and
institutions, universities, science and engineering
communicators, public engagement specialists,
colleges and schools.
“Ingenious offers focus and
helped us deliver against what we’re trying to
