ULAB project innovative outreach activities call
The 'European laboratory for modelling the technical research university of tomorrow' (ULAB) project has issued a call for awards for European innovative outreach activities. As part of the ULAB project, the Oxford Internet Institute at the University of Oxford is organising the online competition to identify the most innovative outreach and public engagement activities carried out by European Universities. Both individuals and groups may apply for awards. Competition submissions must be for an activity that has been initiated and sustained at any university or higher education institution within the 27 EU member states, including projects that might have involved collaboration with institutions outside the EU. The entry can be from one or a number of cooperating universities. The three winning entries will each receive a prize for their institution as well as funding for a representative to attend the awards ceremony at the University of Oxford in the UK on 8 June 2012. ULAB is an innovative project seeking to work together to renew university policies in research, valorisation, entrepreneurship and outreach. ULAB partners are demonstrating how networking and open innovation between universities can increase the quality of research and innovation. The new thinking emerging out of these exchanges will form a base for a white paper giving recommendations to tackle specific challenges.For more information on the call, please visit: http://www.engageawards.org(opens in new window) For more information on the project, please visit: http://www.ulab-fp7.eu/(opens in new window)
