Successful Second Funding Round – projects announced!
We’re pleased to say that our second funding round has continued the success of our first round in 2025. This funding round differed as there were 3 funding streams:
- Pilot for enabling and exploring new ideas
- Growth for contributing to existing community initiatives aligned with our aims
- Cohort training to run a pilot leadership training programme
We received 22 submitted eligible applications and 15 projects were funded including 2 cohort training applications.
To keep improving our application process, we asked for feedback from (prospective) applicants, panel members, and the wider DisCouRSE project team. From our perspective the process has been smoother second time around, but we are keen to hear your insights too, particularly if you didn’t apply for any reason. Do let us know your thoughts at arc.discourse@ucl.ac.uk.
Overall, the second funding round was a success so please have a look at the newly funded projects! If you have any channels to help us extend the reach of our funding calls and applicant pool, please get in touch or consider becoming one of our conduits.
