Hi All, I thought some of you may be interested in attending a museum-university partnership symposium that is being delivered as part of the ACE funded MUPI project (https://www.publicengagement.ac.uk/work-with-us/current-projects/museum-university-partnerships-initiative) . Following our MUPI Match networking/sandpit events we’re now looking at how we can develop tools and resources that will benefit the sector. We will be investing how we can we can support museum and university partnerships in the future through the development of matching events, funding advice/guides, and networking tools. It would be great to have some input from people in the museum sector, whether you’ve been involved in museum/university partnerships, or are just considering them; and it’ll be an opportunity to meet some academics also keen on developing such partnerships. It’s fully funded, so free to attend; and we’re particularly keen to hear from as many museums (large and small), so there is small number of travel bursaries to help museums attend – booking link at the bottom of the page. Apologies for cross posting, and please pass on to your colleagues and networks; and if you’d like any more information on the project please do get in touch with me off-list via [log in to unmask] See you there, Paddy Paddy McNulty Museums Consultant on the MUPI project Museum-University Partnership symposium Thursday, November 2, 2017 - 11:00am to 3:30pm Friends House, London, NW1 2BJ Have you ever worked with a university or a museum to deliver a great project?
