Thank You for Your Interest!
The application period for the Public Engagement Seed Fund has now closed. Thank you to everyone who expressed an interest and submitted an application.
The Public Engagement Seed Fund was designed to provide small amounts of funding (up to £500) to help researchers develop and incorporate meaningful, two-way engagement with beneficiaries and research users. The aim is to help support a more engaged research culture across BU and accelerate the impact arising from research.
Looking Ahead
For those who were unable to apply this year, we hope to offer the Public Engagement Seed Fund again next year. Please do keep a look out for future announcements and opportunities.
Awarded Projects
We will be sharing updates on the awarded projects in the autumn, highlighting the fantastic work being done to engage and inspire communities.
Thank you once again for your interest and participation.
If you have any questions about the Seed Fund, or if you’re interested in engaging with the public about your research, please contact the Public Engagement with Research Team: publicengagement@bournemouth.ac.uk
