Engaging young people with research

The Open University is one of 12 successful university's awarded funding from the Research Councils UK through its new national School-University Partnerships Initiative (SUPI). Over three years, the funding will see the OU partner with the Denbigh Teaching School Alliance to provide 3,800 students in the Milton Keynes area the opportunity to engage with research and researchers from a range of disciplines. 

Led by Dr Rick Holliman, the Open University's Champion for Public Engagement with Research, the project will be coordinated within eSTEeM.
