The ESRC Festival of Social Science will be back again this November (4th-11th), and we need researchers of Social Sciences to come and get involved in running lectures, workshops, exhibitions or other engagement platforms to share your research with the wider public.
Through engaging with the wider public, they develop a range of transferable skills, for instance in leadership, communication, listening, partnership working and project management.
The call is officially open for proposals, so if you’d like to be involved, we’d love to hear from you. Funding is available to support these activities.
To apply, you will need to complete an application form, available on the staff intranet, stating details of the type of event you’d like to run. Please contact event organiser Joanna Pawlik (jpawlik@bournemouth.ac.uk) or Engagement and Impact facilitator Genna West (gwest@bournemouth.ac.uk) to make an application or for further information.
