The call for participants for the 2017 ESRC Festival of Social Sciences will be opening on 29th March. The festival this year is taking place from the 4th to the 11th of November with events taking place across the BU Campus and in the local area. We will be looking for applications from social sciences researchers to run workshops/exhibitions/lectures/activities (we’re open to ideas) open for attendance for the wider public.
The ESRC FSS encourages to support and create the opportunity for social science researchers to engage with non-academic audiences and to promote and increase awareness of the social sciences and the contribution they make to the wellbeing and the economy of society.
Please keep an eye out for further information when the call for applicants opens on the 29th March or contact Genna West (gwest@bournemouth.ac.uk) to find out more.
