The ESRC Festival of Social Science, What could you do?

Public engagement gibsonh

The call for proposals are now open for this years ESRC Festival of Social Science, which will run between the 7th and 14th November.  Funding of up to £1500 is available for the Festival , and with Bournemouth University becoming an official partner of the Festival, now is the time to start thinking about submitting a proposal if you wish to be involved in 2015.

If you’re struggling for inspiration for what event you can submit for this year, below you can find the first in a series of blog posts which will highlight popular events from previous years of the Festival.

‘How to get to 100- and Enjoy it’ was an event which took place in London during the ESRC Festival of 2014. The event look into the chances of  living to 100 and how our early years of life, our family life, where we live, our lifestyle and work effect these chances. With one in three children born in 2012 expected to live to 100, these questions have become important to our generation and generations going forward.

The event itself  made the most of having iPads which  audience members could use to navigate through the latest research findings through interactive games, quizzes, pictures and interviews.

Once you have decided on a proposal idea and are ready to submit an event, the next step will be to complete  the application form, which  can be found here. If you have any further queries or would like help with ideas for your event,  you can email fol@bournemouth.ac.uk and we’ll be happy to help.Alternatively, if you would like to gain more inspiration from past events from looking at previous years events, please click here.
