Take part in the Being Human Festival 2017!
This year, the festival will return between 17-25 November with a new theme, ‘Lost and Found’. Applicants are invited to respond creatively and in ways that probe the rich intellectual possibilities of the theme. The festival is a celebration of the
Humanities, highlighting research in this area in fun, hands-on, immersive ways to
Demonstrate its relevance to our everyday lives.
There are a number of grants to support public engagement activities being offered.
These opportunities to run an event are for researchers at any career stage, background, disciplinary expertise or experience of delivering public engagement events.
For more information on the call and to apply for a “Small Award” or a “Hub Award”, please click here.
You can also find a number of case studies here that could prove useful if you’d like to apply!

Is there anyone here at BU who is ‘running point’ on applications for proposed activities for this festival? I am interested in proposing an (unfunded) event, but I will need to have confirmation that the university is prepared to assist with providing a local venue off-campus; otherwise, I will require funding for venue hire. As the deadline for funded events is 10 April, I will nedd to know asap which application (funded/unfunded) to submit.
