The Royal Society is the UK's leading independent scientific body.  Supporting excellence in science is at the heart of all the Society's work.

All across the UK there are primary and secondary schools benefiting from projects funded by the Partnership Grants scheme

Helston Community College was lucky enough to secure a partnership grant to install a wind turbine so that students can work with a scientist and appreciate our energy needs for the future

Lord Martin Rees, President of the Royal Society said: ‘The Royal Society Partnership Grants scheme may be the first time that some of these young people have had the opportunity to work with, or even meet, a practicing scientist or engineer. And we hope the experience will be an inspiring one. Not only are the sciences an exciting area to study and offer a vast range of careers, but a sound understanding of how science ‘works’ is important for all of us in our society where we face complex question on issues ranging from nuclear power to stem cell research.’
