Until March 2022, the UCL Community Engagement Team has funding for knowledge exchange activities with communities in east London as part of UCL East.
This programme explores:
- How knowledge exchange activity between universities and communities can maximise impact for both partners
- How partnerships between universities and communities can best be supported to flourish
As part of the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) Impact Acceleration Account (IAA) funding, UCL Culture is creating opportunities for knowledge exchange between researchers and communities around our future campus at UCL East.
All activity will be themed around the key interests of the EPSRC.
There will be three strand of activity:
Community partnership building events
UCL staff and postgraduate research students are invited to co-deliver, with UCL Culture, partnership building events between researchers and external communities around the research themes of the EPSRC.
Relationships established or developed at these events will be able to apply for follow on funding to continue working together.
