Selection criteria

The Public Engagement Seed Fund is meant for projects aimed at a general audience, which we take to mean: individuals who are not engaged with the subject in a professional capacity, be it as an academic or as a different kind of professional. For your application you will have to define your audience more specifically, as ‘a general audience’ is not specific enough to base an effective project on.

Go to assessment criteria, time schedule, procedure, etc.
