Getting Started with Public Engagement with Research (online)
This session provides an introduction to public engagement for anyone interested in getting started or looking for a bit of inspiration.
COURSE DETAILS
Engagement describes the ways in which we can share our research and its value by interacting with wider public audiences, generating mutual benefit.
In this introductory session tailored to those new to engagement, we look at what public engagement is and some of the reasons why you might want to do it.
We’ll highlight the multitude of different approaches you can take, and provide tips on getting started and where to get support.

 An increased and reinforced understanding of what public engagement with research is.
