Process
Overview:
Planning, managing and delivering a public engagement/outreach is often much more of challenge than it first seems. The very nature of public engagement work means that one project you work on can look completely different to the next, requiring an entirely different approach to planning and execution. This course will be tailored to your specific projects, taking you through the nitty gritty, but very necessary details of preparing and delivering an engagement project – from applying for funding, to designing your activity and evaluation and report writing.
Leading this session is Matt J Young, a neuroscientist and public engagement professional. He has coordinated and produced large-scale science festivals including Pint of Science Nottingham and the Festival of Science and Curiosity, working with primary school children through to art-loving octogenarians.
Aims: The aim of this course is to give those developing and coordinating public engagement projects the necessary tools to make their event a success. From securing and managing funding, to planning and executing workable aims and objectives, to evaluation and reporting.

Booking Conditions
Latecomer policy
Researchers should plan to arrive prior to the advertised course start time. Except for exceptional reasons, there will be no admittance to a Researcher Academy or Faculty Training Programme (FTP) course 15 minutes after the advertised course start time.
Importance of booking commitment
When booking on to a Researcher Academy short course you are entering into a commitment to attend. If you find that you are no longer available to attend you MUST cancel your place (on the system if more than three days before the course) or if at short notice by emailing pg-training@nottingham.ac.uk. This will ensure that your place can be offered to another researcher on the waiting list. Failure to cancel a place results in other researchers missing out on places through the waiting list process.
It is unacceptable for researchers to just not attend when booked onto a course. Researcher Academy maintains records of those who repeatedly do not attend courses they have booked. This may affect future eligibility to book onto further Researcher Academy courses and will affect considerations for Researcher Academy funded opportunities.
