In 2024 Research Ireland funded 32 Science Week Festivals and Events under the Science Week Call. The purpose of the Science Week Call is to provide support to Festivals and Events nationwide that encourage people, in particular those underrepresented in STEM, or those with less access to STEM to engage in ways that are relevant and accessible during Science Week and beyond. The 2025 Science Week Call is expected to open in Q1 of 2025.
