Islamabad, August 17, 2023 (PPI-OT): Description:

Applications are open for the third round of the Human Resources in Higher Education (HR in HE) Community Challenge Grants. HR professionals continue to play a vital role in supporting university leaders, staff and students to navigate the challenges caused by COVID-19, as well as exploring future ways of working and learning. In light of this, the ACU introduced the HR in HE Community Challenge Grants in 2021. The grants aim to support university HR practitioners in the ever-changing world of work by encouraging collaboration and promoting the sharing of good practice.

Grants: A total budget of GBP 10,000 is available for this grant scheme. This can be allocated as a number of smaller or larger grants.

The grants are available to help meet the costs of organizing projects that promote the essential work of HR and the aims of the HR in HE Community. Institutions who might be willing to match or provide additional funds will be looked upon favourably, but this is not essential.
