MAPS Education: Training and Collaboration Grants
In 2022 we ran the first ever MAPS Education Training and Collaboration small grants scheme. Funding of up to £2000 was available to support education-related activities that enhance the practice or dissemination of pedagogy and/or enhancement of student experience and engagement within the MAPS faculty. Examples of the types of activities that were supported are:
- Visiting another institution to learn about innovative pedagogical practice or approaches to student support or engagement.
- Inviting a leading practitioner in discipline-specific education research to visit UCL to give a talk or workshop.
- Attendance at a conference focussed on Education or student engagement.
- Training or continual professional development opportunities related to education or pedagogy.
- Exchange visits to establish or maintain a collaboration in education research, including to work on data analysis and writing education papers.
All MAPS staff were eligible to apply but we prioritised funding for those in teaching-focussed positions: Associate Lecturers (Teaching); Lecturers (Teaching); Associate Professor (Teaching) and Professor (Teaching) as well as Education-focussed Professional and Technical services staff.
We awarded 20 grants in April 2022 and expect the recipients to send us a brief update of the outcome of the activity so that we can use it as a case study and dissemination to exchange best practice within the faculty. Case studies and updates will be published here when the planned activities have taken place.
