Enriching Engagement is a new pilot Wellcome-funded grants programme open to Wellcome grant holders and awardees at the University of Oxford, to develop and deliver Public Engagement with Research projects. This pilot will offer a new way of encouraging, supporting and awarding Wellcome Public Engagement Enrichment grants.

The first call for funding will open in June 2019; with a second call for funding in early 2020. Two levels of funding will be available: £10k – £30k and £50k – £100k.

This is a grants scheme with a difference:
no lengthy written applications required – just great ideas and effective project planning
workshops and one-to-one surgeries to inspire and shape your thinking (including those new to public engagement)
no written reviews and closed panels – all applicants will be invited to discuss their proposal directly with the funding committee members.
Find out more by attending an Enriching Engagement Taster Session

This session will be your opportunity to learn about this programme, explore the support available, and hear from senior academics about the benefits of public engagement.

Tuesday 4th June 2019, 2pm – 3pm, Wellcome Centre for Human Genetics, Old Road Campus
Friday 7th June 2019, 2pm – 3pm, University Offices, Wellington Square.
