Public Engagement
Effective public engagement is a key part of the University's mission and across MVLS our Institutes and Schools are encouraged to dedicate resources to support this area of work. If you are seeking support for public engagement activities and are uncertain of how to proceed, or wish some guidance or support, contact the MVLS Engagement Team. In addition to dedicated funds through the MVLS Engagement with Research Fund, the team are happy to work with applicants to help develop other funding applications.
