Public Engagement Skills Self-Assessment Toolkit

A series of interactive and reflective exercises to carry out a self-assessment of skills for public engagement with research.

The Public Engagement Unit, with funding from UKRI, investigated the take-up and impact of training and professional development opportunities for researchers in public engagement as part of the ChallenegeCPD@Bath (2017-2019) .

The Public Engagement Skills Self-Assessment Toolkit aims to help researchers become aware of the skills and expertise they already have that will help them engage people with their research and identify any gaps they may wish to develop.

The Toolkit is made up of a series of interactive and reflective exercises across three sections.

  • My Motivations, Experiences & Preferences

  • My Expertise, Skills & Attributes

  • My Action Plan
