Using the Logos

There are no formal restrictions on the use of the logos: please use common-sense in maintaining the logo's integrity (so please don't edit, squash or stretch, rotate, recolour or alter the logos). There is no mandated exclusion zone, but request that you use common-sense.

Please note that the Copus logo, and all the Copus logo files linked to on this page are the property of the Royal Society and are supplied on this website for use only in connection with projects funded under the Copus Grant Schemes.

Describing Copus Grants

Copus is written as Copus – it is not an acronym. Examples of phrases to describe Copus Grants include:

The Copus Grant Schemes for science communication projects
Copus Grant Schemes support ways of making science more accessible to public audiences.
This project is supported by a grant from the Copus Grant Schemes. The Schemes provide funding and support for activities and projects outside the formal education system that improve two-way communication between scientific communities and public audiences. Copus Grant Schemes are funded by the Office of Science and Technology and the Royal Society, and are administered by the Royal Society.

We would also accept phrases that were specifically suited to your project, for example "Funded by a Copus Grant, which supports science-based projects in local communities."
