New resource offers public engagement advice and tips for researchers

“The Engaging Researcher” is a new publication that offers practical advice on how researchers can engage with the public. It highlights the benefits of public engagement and gives tips on how to get started. By drawing on real life examples, it is full of ideas about how to engage different audiences in a variety of ways including public lectures, workshops and festivals or working in schools.

Produced by Vitae and the National Coordinating Centre for Public Engagement (NCCPE) and supported by Beacons for Public Engagement, it is yet another resource that researchers can draw on to help get the most out of their public engagement activities. The NCCPE and Beacons for Public Engagement are funded by Research Councils UK, the Funding Councils and Wellcome Trust.

A copy of the publication is available online here.
