Information for staff

I find real value in the conversations that result from public engagement. They provoke me to consider how best to present and discuss my work.

Professor Dek Woolfson

The Centre for Public Engagement helps staff to share their work with people outside the University, in a two-way exchange of ideas.

This section will help you to find out about:

Getting started in public engagement, including why engage, audiences and ways to engage
Get involved – a list of regularly updated public engagement opportunities, also highlighted in our Engagers’ Digest and through our Twitter channel
Funding sources for public engagement, and how to include public engagement in your research grant applications
Training opportunities and resources
Evaluating public engagement activities
Research impact: in research grants and the Research Excellence Framework - how this links to public engagement

We have produced a flier providing a general guide to the ways we work with staff to support public engagement at the University.
