Digital Economy Telling Tales of Engagement Awards
The Telling Tales of Engagement (TTE) Awards are funded by the EPSRC Digital Economy (DE) Theme. It is designed to help capture and promote the impact arising from Digital Economy research supported by UKRI.
The aims of the TTE awards were:
- To capture the impact and benefits that the Digital Economy Theme’s research is having, how this impact unfolded and what benefits for society and economy has (or are expected to be delivered) from the research, and
- To tell a tale that describe how the impact pathway genuinely unfolded in order to help the wider research community learn examples of best practice.
- To engage the public (while helping to address UKRI’s equality, diversity and inclusion agenda) with the Digital Economy research in order to show how the benefits of the DE research help make a contribution to various challenges.
Since the award’s conception in 2011, the Digital Economy Theme has awarded three TTE awards per year to recognise Digital Economy research impact. The applications were open to teams as well as individuals, from all career stages in academia (including PhD students), industry, users and the third sector. Each TTE winner was awarded a grant from EPSRC, giving them access to £10,000 (100% FEC) over the course of 18 months to tell a tale of Digital Economy research impact through a serious of public engagement events or activities.
The objectives and the activities associated with the scheme are given in the call document (PDF).
