Dear All,

 

I am excited to announce the launch of a BBSRC Public Engagement Training course that aims to support BBSRC-funded researchers to carry out effective public engagement that reflects upon the social and ethical perspectives of their work.

 

The course will cover what public engagement is and why it is important and help participants develop an understanding of the skills required to carry out effective public engagement that is well organised and properly evaluated. It will have an emphasis on two-way engagement, so much of the day will be about building awareness of the social and ethical issues that might be raised in the context of research and ways to engage with the public in relation to those issues.

 

The first course will take place in London on 10 July. Anyone supported by BBSRC, working on a BBSRC grant or based at a BBSRC-funded institute can attend, free of charge. If you, or anyone you know, would be interested in attending more information and details about registration can be found at: www.bbsrc.ac.uk/petraining or I can be contacted directly at [log in to unmask] .

 

Many thanks,

Emma
