Getting started in public engagement

Keen to engage the public with your research but not sure where to begin?

An engaging researcher is just like any other researcher - with one important difference. Engaging researchers go out of their way to involve the public with their research. They open up opportunities for others to get involved, provide new perspectives on the value of their work, and stimulate people to be curious about the world of research - and why it matters. This highly interactive workshop has been designed for researchers who are new to public engagement. During the workshop, participants will explore how to get started with public engagement including motivations, benefits, potential audiences, practical considerations and evaluation.
