The Royal Academy of Engineering is calling for applications to the Ingenious fund to develop public engagement activities which:

• “inspire creative public engagement with engineering projects
• stimulate engineers to share their stories, passion and expertise in innovative ways with wider audiences
• develop engineers’ communication and engagement skills
• create debate between engineers and people of all ages to raise awareness of the diversity, nature and impact of engineering”. 

Given BU’s excellence in engineering, this is a great opportunities for colleagues to take their work to a far wider audience. Inspiration can be found from the case studies that are available here.

Grants are available for between £3,000 and £30,000. Further details on how to apply can be found here.

The deadline for applications is 21st September 2012.
