Research engagement

Research

Public engagement is a key component of the modern academic's portfolio. Increasingly, research funders expect that engagement takes place during the research lifecycle. This may be through co-creation of research, dissemination of research outputs or outreach activities.

Engaging with the public

The public engagement team can support the integration of engagement activity within research, for example:

  • Facilitating links between researchers with external stakeholders and the wider public.
  • Supporting the development and delivery of engagement projects, including sourcing funding.
  • Sharing opportunities for training and professional development in engagement skills.
  • Promotion of engagement events.
  • Or just discussion of your ideas.

To contact a member of the team email the Engage team.
