Beacon Bursary Award

The UCL Public Engagement Unit has announced the awardees in the latest round of Beacon Bursaries.

These awards are available to UCL staff and postgraduate research students looking to connect their research or teaching with people outside UCL.

In an extremely competitive round the following project from IEHC was funded:

Rachael Frost, Primary Care and Population Health

Rachael and her team are planning a series of short workshops to give people in very late life an opportunity to shape future research and benefit from current research findings. Having observed that frail older people are rarely able to participate in engagement activities, this group of mental health researchers are delivering tailored workshops to change that.
