Opportunity profile: EPSRC asks researchers to engage

   

Public engagement will go hand in hand with research in a pilot EPSRC scheme

Top tips

  • Researchers at all career stages can apply, and assessment will focus on the proposal more than track record.
  • Bids from public engagement novices are welcome.
  • Applicants should demonstrate a desire to innovate or reach previously neglected sections of the public.
  • Bids should focus on communicating engineering in a manner suitable to the audience.

The pilot call of the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council’s Engineering Engagement Champions scheme was launched on 11 September with a total of £1.5 million available. The deadline for applications is 7 November.
