The call for proposals for Festival of Learning 2017 is still open and you have only a week to apply!

There are many benefits of taking part, as the festival is an excellent opportunity to showcase your research and gain valuable feedback from members of the public. It is also an effective tool for developing your engagement skills and according to NCCPE these skills can be useful in other areas of your career for example, the capacity to build and sustain effective partnerships, adapting communications styles for different audiences and reflecting and learning from your experience.
