The inaugural Public Engagement Awards were held on Monday 19th March to recognise and celebrate the myriad ways that Birkbeck scholars work with the public and communities to make their research accessible and to include non-academic expertise.
With 25 projects in the running for an award, in excess of 60 guests attended the ceremony and reception, where the winners were announced for each of the five categories, while a further 10 projects were highly commended.
Birkbeck has been awarded £60,000 from Research Councils UK (RCUK) through their Strategic Support to Expedite Embedding Public Engagement with Research (SEE-PER) funding initiative. RCUK’s key aim for this funding call is to enrich and embed an institutional culture supportive of public engagement with research. More information
