Please do forward to any colleagues you may be interested. Kind Regards Paddy McNulty Culture Heritage Museums Consultant Paddy McNulty Associates Apologies for cross posting Museum-University Partnership Symposium Tuesday, March 14, 2017 / 11:00am to 3:00pm Location: NCVO building, 8 All Saints Street, London, N1 9RL (see here for a map and directions) Have you ever worked with a university or a museum to deliver a great project? From student interns to public engagement; collections research to new exhibitions; one off events to long term partnerships – we want to hear from you. The Museum-University Partnership Initiative (MUPI) is an ACE funded project that seeks to develop mutually beneficial partnerships between small museums and university academics. We believe that there is lots of potential in museums and universities working together, and are keen to help support new partnerships and initiatives. This symposium is an opportunity for museum staff and volunteers and academics to come together to: Celebrate and share great examples of partnership working Inform the development of resources to help support effective partnership working including navigating funding; and matchmaking potential partners Learn more about the MUPI project and how you can get involved Whether you have years of experience, are just getting started, or curious, why not come and join us? Register for this event. A small number of travel bursaries are available for museum representatives. Please email [log in to unmask] for further details. Over the next few months we are also hosting 9 regional networking events (or ‘sandpits’) plus two national networking events (one focused on designated collections) to broker partnerships between small and medium sized museums and HEIs.
