Environmental science for families launches nationwide  NERC's Operation Earth programme launches this month at 11 science and discovery centres across the UK. Visitors to the centres will get the chance to watch a family show, be a scientist and have a go at experiments. We hope that over 100,000 children and adults will engage in how environmental science affects our daily lives. Universities and Science Minister Sam Gyimah said: "The UK is a world leader in tackling climate change and through our Industrial and Clean Growth strategies we are committed to the development of low carbon technologies, like electric vehicles and smart energy systems, to improve our quality of life and help protect our planet. "Operation Earth is a great opportunity for families to see the fantastic impact environmental science has on our lives and to inspire our next generation of world-leading scientists and researchers. I urge families from across the UK to visit their nearest participating science centre, get involved in some of the great activities and see for themselves this vitally important campaign in action." |
 New cut-off for highlight topic ideas - 2018 NERC invites the environmental science community to submit new ideas for highlight topics. NERC is now seeking ideas for research challenges that should be priorities for strategic research investment through highlight topics. NERC would welcome ideas from both researchers and those who use environmental science research. Ideas for new highlight topics should be submitted by 15 May 2018. Refreshed guidance is available to explain what we are looking for, how to submit ideas, and how NERC staff can help. |
