Development Fund 2026

The annual Public Engagement Development Fund is awarded to researchers who have considered how Public Engagement methodologies, activities and ideas could be brought to life and delivered as a route to research impact, involving the active participation of external individuals and communities in the co-creation of a project to generate relevant, mutually beneficial outcomes. 

Public Engagement Development Funded projects have also successfully contributed to strong REF impact case studies.

Use this team space to engage with potential collaborators and the Development Fund team to connect, ask questions and discuss ideas for proposals to the 2026 Public Engagement Development Fund.
