💡 Your idea could inspire the next generation. Some examples of projects, events and activities that this fund can cover are:
🪰 Entomological history projects that celebrate ethnic diversity and heritage which can lead to more involvement of underrepresented groups in entomology
🦗 An entomology-focussed citizen science project providing technology, visual aids, sign language interpretation or alternative communication methods within a field/laboratory setting specifically used by individuals with hearing impairments
🐞 Workshops/networking events that amplify women and girl voices, encouraging a greater diversity of contributions in entomology
🐝 A university-led careers event, specifically supporting early career LGBTQ+ groups with entomological pursuits
🦋 Activities that promote intergenerational connections in the entomological community
