NERC Public Engagement Call

The Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) are currently planning a large-scale funding call, through which they will make an ambitious investment (of up to £1·3m over 3 years) to achieve national impact in public engagement with contemporary issues of environmental science.

As part of this NERC are pleased to announce that registration has opened for applications to attend a community consultation event on 6 April 2017 in Manchester, the outputs of which will challenge us to be bold and ambitious, directly informing the funding call.

The event will bring together a diverse set of people who have the potential to shape and be involved in NERC’s bold plans going forward.  These will include environmental scientists, public engagement specialists and also contributors from the social sciences, arts and humanities.
