In 2020-21, £29 million has been allocated with universities receiving somewhere between £50,000 and £1 million in funding.

Update from PraxisAuril CEO, Maxine Ficarra

14 Sep 2020

Dear PraxisAuril members,

I want to share with you our plans for future delivery of our develop, promote and connect programmes as we all settle into our new routines at work and at home - with a fresh set of priorities to keep ourselves and our families safe. 

For PraxisAuril the future is all about flexibility. Our aim is to give you choice: to access PrA resources, events and networks in ways that work best for you.  As such, we will be offering a hybrid schedule of services which you will be able to tailor to suit your individual and organisational requirements.

We understand that many of you are finding digital platforms to be a very effective way of working with colleagues across the community and around the world.  At the same time, others are keen to get back to face to face interactions. KE is, above all, a people business and this is at the heart of all our activities.
