Proposals for British Academy events
The British Academy operates a varied programme of events, for a range of audiences. It welcomes proposals for events that have the following purposes:
- Public events communicating humanities and social sciences scholarship
- Seminars addressing topical policy issues and matters of current debate
1. Public events communicating humanities and social sciences scholarship
Such events should seek to communicate new research and perspectives to non-specialist audiences, and to demonstrate the value of humanities and social sciences scholarship. Of particular interest are events that draw on more than one of the humanities and social sciences disciplines represented by the Academy.
The principal vehicles are the Panel Discussion and the 'In Conversation' event.
2. Seminars addressing topical policy issues and matters of current debate
Such events should seek to bring to bear scholarly insights on matters of public concern, topical debate and public policy, and to promote dialogue between academic and non-academic specialists. Events should represent a contribution to a national (or international) dialogue.
The principal vehicle is the British Academy Forum.
Note
Academic conferences to communicate the results of research are supported through the Conference Support scheme.
Academic workshops to develop a piece of research are funded through the Small Research Grants scheme.
