Public engagement is of increasing strategic importance to higher education to strengthen relevance, responsiveness and accountability and to build trust. There are a myriad of ways in which the activities and benefits of research can be shared with the public – outreach, community engagement and collaboration to name a few.
This Programme has been developed in collaboration with the Institute for Policy and Engagement. Through talks, workshops and events, it will introduce you to public engagement and its many facets, support your skills development and provide you with opportunities to put your knowledge and skills into practice, gain experience and build confidence. Expect to take your communication skills to the next level.
For course listings and booking information, please see our Public Engagement sharepoint page.
