Public Engagement

  • intermittent fieldwork
  • variable timescales
  • variable resource requirements.

Public engagement provides the opportunity to meet people from outside the university with shared interests, potentially to tell them about your research, but also to consult with them and discuss the work you both do and possibly generate research questions and data together. This provides mutual benefit for all involved: increasing the relevance of research and enabling others to be part of the scientific process.
