GB-Newcastle: Northumbria University - T23/0098 Scaling Pan-UKRI Approaches to Public Engagement

The Arts & Humanities Research Council (AHRC) Creative Communities programme is a UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) investment that aims to capture new understanding of how culture can address regional inequality and help level up the UK. We are working with academic, third and private sector partners to identify and profile examples of good practice and innovations in partnership working and to explore the potential for AHRC research to help build creative communities of the future across all nations of the UK. Northumbria University are working with UKRI Public Engagement (PE) team to conduct a rapid review of cross-council UKRI Public Engagement activities since 2020. The aim of this review will be to capture data regarding the resource, reach and scale of work to date, and to map current and future opportunity areas as well as identifying areas of best practice. The tender activity is anticipated to begin in April 2024 and last for up to 7 months.
