In July 2008 the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales (HEFCW) awarded money to the Institute of Physics to run some aspects of Stimulating Physics in Wales. The projects chosen range from demonstrating physics in action in industry to supporting teachers, and from looking at the bridging between A-level and degree-level to providing an enterprise activity within the context of physics.
An advisory group has been set-up which covers expertise from higher education, public engagement and Reaching Wider. The projects are being co-ordinated by the Institute of Physics’ National Officer for Wales, Dr Angharad Thomas. angharad.thomas@iop.org
Yng Ngorffennaf 2008 dyfarnwyd arian gan Gyngor Cyllido Addysg Uwch Cymru (HEFCW) i’r Sefydliad Ffiseg i redeg agweddau o Hybu Ffiseg yng Nghymru. Mae’r prosiectau a ddewiswyd yn ymwneud ag edrych ar y pontio rhwng lefel-A a gradd, dangos ffiseg mewn byd diwydiant, cefnogi athrawon, a darparu gweithgaredd menter yng nghyswllt ffiseg.
Sefydlwyd grŵp ymgynghorol sydd yn cynnwys pobl a gwybodaeth arbenigol yn y maes addysg uwch, cysylltu â’r cyhoedd ac Ymgyrraedd yn Ehangach. Mae’r prosiectau yn cael eu cydlynu gan Swyddog Cenedlaethol i Gymry y Sefydliad Ffiseg, Dr Angharad Thomas. angharad.thomas@iop.org
