Scientific paper

PPARC is the funding agency for high energy particle physics, astronomy and space science in the UK. The three main aims of our science and society programme are to stimulate public interest in current research, to support researchers to communicate with public audiences, and to engage young people. The main drivers are the need to account to the public for the work funded by taxpayers and the UK need for a skilled workforce in science and technology. There are shortages of graduates in physics, maths and engineering, and a shortage of school teachers with good physics knowledge. We are capitalising on the excitement value of astronomy and space for young people to encourage more to study science and engineering subjects, especially beyond 16.
