The Heising-Simons Foundation’s Science program announces its Summer 2025 Cycle Open Call for Science Events and Gatherings. This is the first of two such calls that will run throughout 2025; the second will open in winter 2025.

For this call, we welcome applications for grants to support meetings, workshops, conferences, summer schools, research collaboration gatherings, and other events related to the fields of astronomy, planetary science, cosmology, fundamental physics, climate change science, and/or increasing the representation and retention of underrepresented groups in these fields.

Up to $400,000 of funding is available, with each grant being between $20,000 and $80,000.
