Don’t forget that you can apply to be part of the Festival regardless of whether you have a relationship with the ESRC or not, but the deadline is very soon!
The Festival team states that: “The 2013 ESRC Festival of Social Science is taking place up and down the country from 2-9 November. As there are only a couple of weeks left to submit an application to hold an event as part of the Festival (with or without funding from the ESRC), we thought it timely to send a reminder of the deadlines.
– The closing date for applicants seeking funding is 4pm on Monday 3rd June
– The closing date for applicants wishing to hold an event but not seeking funding is 4pm on Friday 7th June
You’re able to apply to hold an event as part of the Festival whether or not you have an existing relationship with the ESRC.
If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact the festival team by emailing esrcfestival@esrc.ac.uk.
For more information please see www.esrcfestival.ac.uk and visit our organise an event page to submit an online application”.
If you would like help with your application, please do not hesitate to contact Becca.
