BU Research Blog

 Many thanks to all those of you that submitted a proposal to run an activity during the Festival of Learning.  I am delighted to report that we have received over 100 proposals for inclusion at the Festival. This indicates fantastic support from colleagues across all schools, which I believe will really help us showcase the best of BU next summer.

Given the volume of proposals that we have received, we are still in the process of reviewing and allocating funding for all these events. In some cases, this will mean developing the proposals directly with you in-order to ensure accurate costings and marketing. An internal steering group has been convened in-order to help us do this and regular updates on progress will be made available.

There is considerable work going on behind the scenes, and I am delighted to announce that Naomi Kay has now joined us a dedicated Events Co-ordinator for the Festival. I will be back in touch in the next few weeks to discuss the next steps relating to your event. After we have agreed how to progress with you, Naomi will contact you directly with regards to your availability and space requirements. However, if you require further information sooner, please do feel free to contact Becca directly on 01202 961206.
