*Launch of CELT Teaching Innovation Grants & CELT Learning Innovation Grants*


Since 2008, the CELT Learning and Teaching Grants have enabled over 100 individual and group projects to be developed, resulting in innovation in academic and professional practice, enhancements in the student learning experience and research contributions.

Continuing this focus, the new CELT Teaching Innovation Grants and the CELT Learning Innovation Grants will promote the collaboration between staff and students while also promoting opportunities for students to gain work-experience and enhancing their work-focused skills.

CELT Teaching Innovation Grants are one year, staff-led grants of up to £3000 (£2500 per project + £500 bursary for student work-experience) to support team projects involving staff and at least one student.  CELT Learning Innovation Grants are student-led grants of up to 100 hours of student work-experience to support team projects involving students and at least one staff member.

Workshops to support the development of bids will take place on April 24th, 11am - 12noon (Caerleon) and April 25th, 11am - 12noon (City).  The closing date for the submission of bids is Wednesday, 2nd May 2012.  Application forms and further details are available at CELT Enterprise (https://my.newport.ac.uk/moodle/course/view.php?id=2329) or through CELT Activities (https://my.newport.ac.uk/moodle/course/view.php?id=2323).
