Vice-Chancellor’s Engage Awards 2019
The Vice-Chancellor’s Engage Awards are now open. The Awards recognise the important role played by those who undertake excellent public engagement with their research, increasing the non-academic impact of their research, improving their own skills and leading by example. Applications can be submitted in any of the following categories:
- Informing: This category aims to reward projects that have successfully shared research knowledge with publics outside of academia.
- Listening: This category aims to reward projects which listen and respond to publics’ needs, knowledge and experience.
- Working together: This category aims to reward projects that involved working with others outside of academia.
- Leadership: rewards individuals who have developed an inclusive culture of public engagement within their own department / faculty or research centre

Public Engagement Showcase
The 2019 Vice-Chancellor’s Engage Awards will be accompanied by the Public Engagement Showcase.
The Public Engagement Showcase is a chance for you to share your public engagement projects and activities with the rest of the University and external visitors. We really want to celebrate the diversity of public engagement activities that are happening across the University so we are looking for examples that cover all forms of public engagement at any scale or stage.
You can host your engagement project as a poster, interactive encounter or both! The Showcase will take place at our annual event Engage: Public Engagement in Practice on Wednesday 15th May 2019 from 13:00 – 16:00. Posters and encounter will be hosted from 13:00 – 14:00. Please submit your posters and encounters to the Public Engagement Unit by the 15th April.
