Description
As the Science Faculty Representative to the University of Strathclyde's Public Engagement group, I arranged a workshop for public engagement. Invited speakers included researchers across the Science Faculty, who were experienced in a variety of different public engagement events. A particular focus of the event was to convey different platforms that could be used to effectively share research with the wider public, actions to widen participation and improve effective engagement in activities. Lessons learnt and ideas shared from the workshop were used to contribute to the University's Widening participation and Public Engagement documents.
