University Outreach Awards: European Competition for Best Innovations in University Outreach and Public Engagement

As part of the EC-funded ULab project (European Laboratory for Modelling the Technical Research University of Tomorrow), the Oxford Internet Institute at the University of Oxford is organising an 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 three winning entries will each receive a prize for their institution as well as funding for a representative to attend the award ceremony at the University of Oxford on 8 June 2012.

Entries should be submitted by 22 March 2012.

After the closing date, all entries will be made public on the website, forming part of an online repository of good practice in outreach.

 Ulab is a think-tank of five European Universities: Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Politecnico di Torino, Technische Universität München, Paris Institute of Technology, and the University of Oxford.
