Public engagement seed fund open for applications

The UG and UMCG have introduced a public engagement seed fund as part of the Open Science programme. The third round of the fund is now open. The deadline for applications is 27 November at 4 p.m.

The seed fund provides an opportunity for scientific staff of the UG and UMCG to receive up to €4,000 for ongoing or future public engagement projects.

Public engagement stands for social and public involvement. It describes the many ways in which the activities and benefits of higher education and research can be shared with a wide audience.
