Centre for Public Engagement Small Grants

The Centre for Public Engagement Small Grants are a monthly funding scheme (excluding June-August) that provides grants of up to £1,000 to enable Queen Mary staff and students the opportunity to deliver small-scale projects that engage the public with University research, teaching, or core business.

The scheme has three categories of award available which are designed to help support a variety of different engagement projects throughout Queen Mary. To explore projects that have previously been funded as part of this scheme click here.

The Small Grants are currently open for applications.

The funding to support these activities has come from the Queen Mary’s Higher Education Innovation Fund (HEIF) allocation, which has been awarded by Research England to specifically support and develop knowledge exchange activities between the University and the wider world.
