Following publication of the Government's Science and Innovation Investment Framework 2004-2014, HEFCE invited professional bodies to explore possibilities for profile-raising activities in STEM subjects which would encourage increased applications at degree level. Four pilot projects were funded, and further details on each can be found by following the links below.
