We are dedicating this meeting of the BU Public Engagement with Research (PER) Network to helping you apply for the ESRC Festival of Social Science 2022, an annual celebration of the social sciences.
In this session we will explain more about the festival and how to apply through our internal process – opening on Monday 28 March. We will also hear from academics who have previously held events and activities as part of the festival, who will share their experiences and advice.
Find out more about the Festival of Social Science, including who is eligible and how much funding and support you could receive.
We will also share other news on public engagement from BU.
The meeting will take place on Thursday 31 March 12-1pm, on Teams.
