PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT

Public engagement and educational engagement is hugely important for a number of reasons. From a selfish point of view these activities are great for your CV and disseminating research outside of the general scientific community is now widely required on grant applications and is fantastic for increasing the impact of your research. Aside from these reasons, public engagement gives you the opportunity develop organisation and communication skills whilst having a huge amount of fun.

We have put together information on the variety of public engagement training, funding and activities that are available at the University of Leeds and beyond with some useful contacts to get you started. In addition, the public engagement and educational engagement websites offer a huge amount of information if you're thinking of getting involved.
