With £45m in funding to drive innovation the the higher education section, the HEFCE catalyst fund is one not to miss.

HEFCE are interested in collaborative approaches around:

•student engagement

•enhancement of teaching and learning

•student participation and success

•strategically important and vulnerable subjects

•research

•knowledge exchange

•leadership, governance and management

Projects need to be collaborative, bringing together businesses, universities and colleges, and other public agencies.

There are no fixed application deadlines for this fund.

We have already been successful in securing funding through the police knowledge funding strand with Keele University, let’s see if we have any other exciting ideas to develop.
