The Centre for Public Engagement Practice in Arts and Humanities (CPEP) is pleased to announce the award of circa £100,000 supporting seven newly-formed teams who will work together over the course of a year to develop innovative public engagement activities.

The Collaboration and Innovation Grant, funded by the UK Government through UK Research and Innovation, brings together interdisciplinary teams involving researchers, engagement professionals, and partners from cultural, creative, charity, and community sectors. It funds newly formed, practice-led teams to experiment and deliver projects that reimagine the scope of what public engagement can be.

Funded projects will focus on team building, creating new and lasting connections, and knowledge exchange that cuts across sectors, disciplines and functions. The teams will develop collaborative activities across a wide range of places within the UK.

Across the seven awarded projects, the CPEP team will be working with 22 Higher Education Institutions and 3 Independent Research Organisations, with a total of 24 researchers, 12 professional services staff and 23 non-academic partners involved throughout England, Scotland and Wales.

Projects include:

🌟 Interactive engagement with early music – a national programme of experimental workshops led by University of Birmingham
🌟 Community and care through global textile histories led by University of the Arts London
🌟 Ecological Translation led by University of Kent
🌟 Kairos: A Time for Action led by University of Cumbria
🌟 Copper Frequencies / Amleddau Copr led by Northumbria University
🌟 From ecological ‘Slow Disasters’ to biodiverse food security in the Cambridgeshire Fens and Norfolk Broads led by University of Cambridge
