Communications services (for project)

Tampere University Foundation sr is inviting tenders for 'Communications services'.

Services are tendered for 'PRISM' project. PRISM is a five-year program being implemented at Tampere University, Finland seeking to re-place mysticism in the study of religion. Supported by the global philanthropy, Templeton Religion Trust (TRT). One of the three goals of PRISM approved by TRT is to generate global public interest in mysticism as aligned to recent academic developments. Rather than only downstream dissemination, this means working with academics to tailor content aimed at generating interest in specific target groups, i.e., conceptually oriented communications by experts in the field not just a technical service. Another key requirement is to integrate communication with the donor, Templeton Religion Trust, since PRISM is not just a project grant but a program strategy of TRT which is being implemented by Tampere University. All communications tasks and outputs, as well as engagement with PRISM and Phase-I project teams, will be in English. * * * * PRICING Maximum budget available for this procurement during the abovementioned timeframe is 408 000 € (excl. VAT). Tenders exceeding the max budget will be rejected.
