Tomorrow's climate scientists

Tomorrow’s climate scientists is a new programme for 2020, which aims to give students across the UK not just a voice, but an opportunity to take action themselves to address climate and biodiversity issues – to become the climate scientists of tomorrow.

Partnership Grants

As an extension to the 2020 funding round, schools have received grants to carry out research specifically into climate change and biodiversity. These projects will be run in partnership with STEM professionals from industry and academia.

By taking part in these projects students will have the opportunity to:

Develop problem solving and data handling skills
Demonstrate their creativity
Have a voice in the direction of scientific research by working with their STEM partner

The projects are taking place in schools across the country at both primary and secondary levels. The scheme is now closed to new applications and full details about the funded projects will be available soon.

Legacy projects

Previously funded projects in this topic area have received additional funding to extend their work as part of this programme. More information about these projects will be available soon.

Resources

There are also free climate based resources available:

Global challenges - produced by the Society in collaboration with the British Council, for the Commonwealth Science Class project, these resources explore climate science and sustainability
Take a bite out of climate change - produced by a previous Exhibitor from the Summer Science Exhibition, these resources look at the impact of food and agriculture on climate change
