A new public engagement fund

To empower and support researchers to bolster their public engagement efforts and enrich their own research, a new funding and support programme for public engagement activity has been established by the Institute.

This fund is open to any researchers from universities in the UK, and you don’t need to be experienced in public engagement, as we will provide training and one-on-one coaching. We are particularly interested to hear from applicants who consider themselves to be part of a group who are traditionally underrepresented in AI and data science, and funds are available to support those who may not otherwise be able to take part.

Through this funding call, we hope to encourage and support researchers to engage creatively with the public around data science and AI technologies.
