The National Co-ordinating Centre for Public Engagement (NCCPE) is working with the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) to commission research syntheses relevant to higher education and public engagement. The NCCPE is managing this call and welcomes applicants to address the stated topics. Further calls may be launched on additional topics in due course.

Topics

a)  Academic Promotion Criteria for Third Stream Activity (including public engagement and knowledge exchange)

b) Widening Participation from Undergraduate to Post-graduate Research Degrees

More information

Each synthesis will uncover and synthesise current academic literature and public reports on these topics. Each synthesis will outline existing data and highlight any trends and/or gaps in existing knowledge.

Applications can be made for up to £15,000 for each synthesis, and it is expected that each will be conducted during the autumn of 2009. 

The final product of the synthesis will include a written synthesis report along with a PowerPoint presentation.
