Dr. Ciarán Seoighe:

There are a couple of those. One aspect of the work we do is education and public engagement. To date, this has involved getting, typically, STEM into broad conversations in the public. It is for schools, parents and the wider public to engage in STEM and recognise that it is for everyone. Traditionally, STEM would have been seen as elitist at a particular point. We have been working on that. We have programmes around that like Science Week and the Discover awards. When we go through the adjudication process, we focus on ensuring that those programmes which can serve previously or traditionally under-represented groups score higher in terms of their ability to attract funding.
