Developing researcher's public engagement skills: member networking seminar 2017 – North West
A Vitae event
Vitae is pleased to invite member HEIs to the North West member networking seminar, co-hosted by the University of Salford. This event is part of a series of networking seminars open to member organisations. The free seminars, hosted by our Vitae regional representatives and member organisations, aim to facilitate networking and practice-sharing among the staff based at Vitae member organisations.
The morning session is based around a priority theme, to encourage practice-sharing and networking. Expert speakers on the theme of engaging different stakeholders will provide thought-provoking input to stimulate discussion.
There will be an update from the Vitae team, followed by a broad discussion of interests and priorities. Feedback from this session will inform the Vitae membership programme for 2017/18.

- be updated on the most recent Vitae activities and plans
- have an opportunity to inform future Vitae strategy and contribute to the development of the Vitae 2017/18 programme
