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.
