In this inaugural year, we are extending an open call for applications for small grants of £2-3,000 for institutions to participate in the festival.

Participation in the festival will offer an opportunity for engaging the public with leading humanities research. It will offer possibilities for collaborations to be instigated between HE institutions, cultural and community partners, and an opportunity to promote existing collaborations. It will also offer an opportunity to develop public engagement skills and awareness among academics and students.
