The Referendum on the UK’s membership of the European Union will be one of the most important political decisions in this country in a generation.

As a university, we are committed to the dissemination of knowledge for public benefit and to the free exploration of ideas. We are therefore making funding available to support a programme of activities, with the aim of raising awareness, facilitating debate and enabling the exchange of views from all shades of opinion.

Funds are available to all schools and professional service departments to support the costs of running an event including catering for a reception or travel and accommodation for guest speakers.

We encourage all members of our community to get involved; to inform and to be informed by the debate.

Seperate funding for student led events has been made available and can be accessed via application to Kent Union.

To find out whether your event is eligible for funding please contact Hannah Sullivan-Guckian (h.sullivan-guckian@kent.ac.uk). More information on the Kent in Europe programme is available at sharepoint.kent.ac.uk/referendum.
