Upstream engagement, from what I understand, is to start with citizens and then going up the food chain - consensus conferences (originally from Denmark) are a good example. Unfortunately, so far , their decisions/conclusions although reaching the political organs (this in denmark) have so far failed to make any real impact in their decisions.

Subject: BIG Event Best Demo Competition OPEN
Dear Pscicommers
As ever, BIG Event delegates have been queuing nicely to be contenders in
the Best Demo Competition this year. But the wait is over. the Best Demo
Competition really does provide some of the best fun you can have in your
STEM engagement career. Applications are now being taken to enter.
The Best Demo Competition presents a lighthearted look at some of the demos
you think are worth sharing; it invites you to demonstrate the maths,
science, engineering and so on that really lights your fire and you just
can't help but show off to your peers. You have just three minutes and a
warm and welcoming audience. Maybe you'll be going home with the prestigious
Best Demo Award to display on your desk, in your shed or sliding across the
dashboard of your van.
There's no money to win, it's not an Oscar, it's not a Nobel Prize. But
within BIG we think it is worth having because it's worth joining in.
The Competition takes place on the evening of Thursday 23 July as part of
the BIG Event at the John Innes Centre in Norwich, immediately before the
conference dinner. Anyone attending is invited to join the evening's running
order. The competition is not scary, intimidating or harsh in any way - the
main purpose is to enjoy what we do.
It's very simple: demos presenting STEM subject matter must be no longer
than 3 minutes, you must bring all of the equipment you need for your demo
and you must sign up in advance - no late entries, sorry.
HOW TO ENTER:
Please email Rachel Mason [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> with
your name, demo title and a short (50-80 word) description. This description
is for the event organiser and venue only and will not be published.
DEADLINE FOR RECEIPT OF ENTRIES: TUESDAY 30 JUNE
More detail about the competition can be found on BIG's website at
www.big.uk.com/bigevent15 <http://www.big.uk.com/bigevent15>
If you have any questions about the format, structure, or need a bit of
support in putting your entry together, please contact
Rachel Mason, BIG Event Organiser

Subject: Eaxamples of upstream engagement
Good morning psci-com hive mind
I'm delivering a training session later, and I would like to offer a really good example of "upstream" public engagement with the sciences. The problem is I'm struggling to find one: all the ideas I have had are ambiguous at best.
Does anyone have any suggestions of a 100% copper-bottomed example?
Thanks in advance!

Subject: Re: Eaxamples of upstream engagement
good morning Dom
explain 'upstream' a little..
do you mean examples where PES has focused more on embedding science
engagement into the cultural lives of participants, working with particular
groups or communities, or upstream in the sense of working with younger age
groups?
the Lab_13 Gillespie manuka honey trial has attracted some widespread
interest.. with wider implications for high profile clebs

Subject: Re: Eaxamples of upstream engagement
Hi Rick
Below is the definition we use with postgraduates studying science communication at the OU.
upstream public engagement with science (and technology; PEST)
A concept developed in response to perceived limitations of the public understanding of science (PUS)<https://learn2.open.ac.uk/mod/oucontent/view.php?id=577249§ion=_glossary#idp879600>. PEST has been used in a number of different ways in recent years. It is generally understood to be based on a more sophisticated model of science communication – one that acknowledges that communication should flow in more than one direction, i.e. not just from scientists to the public, but also between various publics, stakeholders and scientists. This model, which was developed in response to detailed research studies, concedes that expertise is more distributed among different publics, and more nuanced and contingent, particularly in relation to frontier science (where complexity, uncertainty and controversy abound). It follows that for (upstream) PEST approaches to be successful, a range of publics should be given early (in the case of emerging technoscience, this should be upstream), and then regular, routine opportunities to contribute to the governance of science.
Look for this publication if you want to read further: Wilsdon, J. and Willis, R. (2004). See through science: why public engagement needs to move upstream. London, Demos.
I’d argue that ideas about upstream engagement can potentially be applied to all forms of knowledge. The question of whether this approach should be mainstreamed is still contested. It’s a question that we’ve been grappling with alongside the other seven RCUK-funded Catalyst universities<http://www.rcuk.ac.uk/pe/embedding/>. We collected the baton from the Beacons before us and we’re soon to hand it over to universities funded by RCUK through their Catalyst Seed Fund.
Here’s an overview of where we’ve got to at the OU:

good morning Dom
explain 'upstream' a little..
do you mean examples where PES has focused more on embedding science engagement into the cultural lives of participants, working with particular groups or communities, or upstream in the sense of working with younger age groups?
the Lab_13 Gillespie manuka honey trial has attracted some widespread interest.. with wider implications for high profile clebs

Good morning psci-com hive mind
I’m delivering a training session later, and I would like to offer a really good example of “upstream” public engagement with the sciences. The problem is I’m struggling to find one: all the ideas I have had are ambiguous at best.
Does anyone have any suggestions of a 100% copper-bottomed example?
Thanks in advance!

Subject: Re: Examples of upstream engagement
Hi again
Brilliant: I used them in the session that has just ended!
To clarify – yes, I meant the word in the Demos-approved sense of the word, rather than anything else. Apologies for leaving it hanging.
It’s interesting that there are only a few examples; it’s also interesting that the term “upstream” has not penetrated as far into the collective science communication unconscious as I thought it might have. So many thanks to everyone who responded, even if the response was “You what?”.
And for completeness, in addition to the messages in this thread, a couple of people got back to me on twitter: Patrick Middleton from BBSRC pointed me to their 2010 consultation on Synthetic Biology http://www.bbsrc.ac.uk/engagement/dialogue/activities/synthetic-biology/dialogue-background/
Emily Dawson introduced me to the SNEHA Dekha Undekha project in Mumbai http://www.snehamumbai.org/documents/Publications/26/Dekha_Undekha_BookReport.pdfAnd Alice Taylor Gee suggested NERC’s recent geoengineering dialogue exercise http://www.nerc.ac.uk/about/whatwedo/engage/engagement/geoengineering/geoengineering-dialogue-final-report/
I look forward to discussing this with some of you next week at the Sci Comm conference in Manchester!

Subject: Looking for speakers for our Soapbox Science Event - closing date Monday
Would you like to help promote women working in the Environmental Sciences?
Have you been looking for an opportunity to reach more people with your
work and research?
If the answer is 'yes', this could be the project for you.
The Institution of Environmental Sciences (IES) have partnered with Soapbox
Science and MMU to produce a special environmental edition of Soapbox
Science which will be held in Manchester's busy Piccadilly gardens on the
28th July from 12 to 3pm.
Soapbox Science is a hugely successful public engagement project promoting
women working in the sciences as well as the scientific research and
innovations they pioneer.
We are looking for female scientists from an array of environmental science
backgrounds to talk and engage with members of the public.
You can talk about past or present projects, or something topical within
the environmental sector.
This event could provide a fantastic opportunity to increase the visibility
of your company or institution, your sector and your work. It will also
offer some inspiration and role models for young budding female scientists
Being a soapbox scientist has made a positive impact on the personal and
professional development of many past participants. Many noticed increased
responsibility, support and access to career opportunities as a result of
participating in the programme.
Event Aims
The IES is continuously looking for ways to increase equality amongst our
members and the environmental sector and have produced reports and guidance
to promote diverse representation within the environmental science sector.
This event will increase the public’s interest and awareness of
Environmental Science, engaging those who may never have had the
opportunity to interact with science in an accessible, fun and
unintimidating way.
Soapbox Science has had a proven impact in reaching their target audience;
in the past, speakers have reached up to 1,025 people in 3 hours.
Speakers will be offered some training prior to the event to help ensure
you make the most of your time with the public.
If you would like to find out more about getting involved with this
exciting opportunity please contact Emma ([log in to unmask]) for a chat
on 020 7601 1920. Closing date for applications is Monday 15th June.
Kind regards,
