SHAPE Involve and Engage

Days leftClosedSeptember 15, 2026

All Information

The SHAPE Involve and Engage programme supports researchers who want to create innovative public engagement projects based on humanities and social sciences research. Rather than funding new research, it helps researchers collaborate with galleries, libraries, archives, museums (GLAM organisations), or performing arts organisations to make research accessible and meaningful to wider audiences through exhibitions, performances, workshops, and other engagement activities.
