RTÉ and Science Foundation Ireland announce joint initiative
Grant funding available to develop more science programming on RTÉ One
RTÉ and Science Foundation Ireland have today (2 June 2015) announced a pilot initiative to provide grant funding for the development of additional television programming related to science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) that has broad audience appeal.
This joint initiative will see Science Foundation Ireland provide €500,000 in grant funding to RTÉ television over the next 12 months for the development of prime time programming on RTÉ One. This programming, which is additional to science related programming already planned across RTÉ One, RTÉ2, RTÉjr and RTÉ Radio1 and ongoing news and feature coverage from RTÉ Science Correspondent, Will Goodbody, will help both organisations achieve their shared objectives of making science and technology more relevant to Irish audiences.Read more .
