A proposal to the Insitute of Advanced Teaching and Learning (IATL) by a team from the CEH led by Drs. David Armstrong and Jonathan Heron has been successful in its application. The funding will be used to fund two or three events; discussion of their format is ongoing.

The CEH have submitted a proposal to the Institute for Advanced Teaching and Learning (IATL) at Warwick for funding of a habitability seminar series.

Unfortunately, the CEH's application to the STFC for funding for our 'Festival of Habitability' has been unsuccessful. The team are now considering the feedback that we received, and are looking at alternative funding sources for aspects of the festival.

The Centre for Exoplanets and Habitability (CEH) has recently submitted an application for funding to the Science and Technology Facilities Council for a year-long project involving an external 'practitioner-in-residence' to work with CEH on several public engagement projects.
