Commitment to Public Engagement
We are committed to sharing our skills, knowledge and resources with the public so as to increase understanding of some of the amazing ground breaking research that goes on at Brunel University London
What is the Public Engagement Fund?
The Public Engagement Fund is an initiative designed to support researchers in undertaking public engagement activity. Connecting research and teaching with people outside the institution.
How we select a winning project
Brunel fund projects that touch on topics that the public can relate to & get involved in. It is important to select projects that focus on interesting aspects that both entertain and inform the general public
