International
Commission for Optics - Fellowships. The Funds have approved grants of up
to £5,000 per annum for 3 years to help fund individuals from developing
countries working in the area of optoelectronics to come to the United
Kingdom to further their studies. (1994) |
|
Electronics For All Kits. The Funds have commissioned a series of
optoelectronics kits for use in secondary schools. (1996)
|
|
Thesis
Prizes. The Funds intend to award up to two prizes of £2,000 and £1,000 for
PhD research theses in optoelectronics annually. The research must cover
fundamental experimental or theoretical optoelectronic effects, including
optical signal processing and physiological optics, or their applications in
such areas as laser technology, displays, optical communications and
astronomy. (1998) |
|
University of Cambridge. Rank Chair in Optoelectronics in the Department
of Zoology (Five years from 1999) |
|
Lasers
in Action. Following the success of the Electronics for All kits, the
Funds commissioned a further 20 advanced kits for secondary schools. (1999) |
|
Vacation
Studentships. The Funds awarded 7 studentships to help research workers in
Optoelectronics pay for appropriate assistance during University vacations.
(1999 - 2008)

Rank Lectures: Up to two lectures each
year will be sponsored to allow distinguished speakers to give keynote
presentations at some of the annual meetings of prestigious scientific
organisations. |
Optoelectronics College (OEC)
- The Scottish pilot was set up in 2008 during which an Optoelectronics College was established to train and equip science teachers, through CPD, to enable their 12/13 year old pupils to conduct exciting optoelectronics experimental activities that are relevant to the curriculum. These activities are based on understanding how every day objects work – such as LCDs in TVs and laptops, LEDs, optical fibres and solar cells, with many school children being enthused to seek careers in science and engineering, including optoelectronics. The English pilot commenced in 2010. Additional support for English schools has been given by the Wolfson Trust, the Maurice Wohl Trust, and the 1851 Royal Commission, and for Scottish schools by the MacRobert Trust. Two companies, Selex-Galileo and Cambridge Display Technology, and one defence laboratory, DSTL, are giving support to 24 schools. For further info see

Lab in a Lorry. The Funds, in partnership with the Institute of Physics and the Schlumberger Foundation, provided Camera Optics and Medical Physics experiments for the scheme. Lab in a Lorry is an interactive mobile science laboratory staffed by practising scientists and engineers. The aim is to give young people aged 11-14 the opportunity to do experimental science in the way it actually happens; exploratory, accidental, informed by curiosity and intuition, but also bounded and guided by the experience and insight of practicing scientists. (2009/2010)s. |
