Peer-to-Peer Knowledge Exchange Bursary
Peer-to-Peer Knowledge Exchange Bursaries (PPKEB) are an opportunity for organisations participating in the Museum Futures programme to access funding to visit another organisation that it considers successful or experienced in an area it wants to improve. The visit is intended to support knowledge sharing and learning, particularly around programming or operations.
Where can we visit?
These bursaries are designed to accommodate travel right across Scotland, however in special circumstances exceptions may be made to include hosts in the wider United Kingdom, given due justification.
What can be covered?
These bursaries can cover costs associated with:
- Travel
- Accommodation
- Subsistence
Where possible priority should be given to the use of public transport rather than single occupancy vehicle use. Where multiple airlines or coach companies are available, on the same date of travel and for the same duration of travel, the cheaper option should be chosen.
If you are travelling a significant distance and/or at a significant cost, we would encourage you to investigate the option of visiting multiple host sites in that area.
Restrictions and limits apply to the amounts that can be claimed. Details will be provided upon enquiry.
Who is eligible to apply?
This opportunity is open to organisations participating in the Museums Futures programme. Applicants must have completed an Organisational Health Checker and the subsequent meeting with a Museum Futures team member.
How to apply
This bursary is only available to organisations participating in the Museum Futures programme. If you wish to be involved with Museum Futures, the first step is to complete an Organisational Health Checker via the OHC portal.
