Public engagement network Exchange
Our Public Engagement Network for professional staff is centrally organised but community owned. We meet termly and members are welcome to propose themes, lead discussions and share ideas, experience and best practice. Get in touch if you have an idea you would like to discuss at one of our meetings. Once you are a member of the network, join our Slack channel and continue the discussions online.
Annual public engagement conference
We run an annual public engagement conference to provide a space for learning and skills sharing and to create a supportive community of practice. We invite leaders from within the public engagement community both internally and externally to contribute, including those from other HEI’s, UKRI, NCCPE, Wellcome, Cambridge City Council, our Museums, our professional colleagues and our Public Engagement Award winners.
