Funding
There are several funding mechanisms available to support researchers to develop public engagement activities and partnerships. We support this by providing Engaged Research Funds which cover a range of award sizes.
We welcome applications from all members of our community and particularly encourage those from diverse groups, such as members of the LGBTQI+ and BAME communities, to apply. If you require any further information, including discussion about the suitability of your idea for the funds, please contact per@exeter.ac.uk with enquiries.

"This has been really helpful - I have realised a lot of things I have been doing fall into public engagement and can now work to be more purposeful about it all."
