A new fund has just been launched called the Higher Education Innovations
Fund. Fund's are available for all English HEI's funded through HEFCE.
Proposals are invited against three themes
1. Equal opportunities: projects looking at equal opportunities within
HE (for both staff and students) and graduate employment;
2. Meeting the Need: exploring ways to improve responsiveness to the
changing demands of employers and the graduate labour market;
3. Making change happen; projects to disseminate the lessons from the
1999-2000 development programme so as to maximise its impact.
The budget available is £8 million for the period 2000-02. There is an
additional £4 million for use outside this bidding round to address policy
issues and support ad-hoc projects.
Deadline for receipt is Noon 29 October 1999
