The Ogden Trust

The Royal Society is the UK’s most prestigious independent scientific academy with a worldwide reputation for promoting science. It runs extensive research fellowship programmes supporting scientists across all disciplines, especially in their early careers. This extensive experience in directly supporting research scientists of international quality will now be brought to the area of science and mathematics education research.

Each Education Research Fellowship will support an exceptional, early- to mid-careers educational researcher in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education. In addition to the full-time salary, the Royal Society will offer the Education Research Fellows the use of their facilities, a range of professional training opportunities and support in career progression both during the Fellowship and as an alumnus.  The ultimate aim of the Fellowships is to develop and support robust, evidence-based research feeding into national education policy and practice.
