Engagement training, workshops and hands-on engagement
A new public engagement training programme has been developed for public engagement professionals and researchers in the College, with a particular focus on early career researchers.
A public engagement newsletter has been created to help demystify ‘Public Engagement’, with face-to-face, interactive online training provided via a Public Engagement Development Programme comprising of three half day (online) courses.

'The Public Engagement Development Programme equipped me with essential knowledge and skills without which our team would not have gained ISSF3 funding. It has also increased my confidence to apply for public engagement funds from external sources to continue the project beyond the Proof-of-Concept.'
A list of trained individuals is being maintained to help researchers obtain hands-on engagement experience, placing them in a competitive position to apply for funding.
