Public engagement

Public engagement is how we connect, share and involve people with our work. We create activities and events that bring our health and life sciences research to life, inspire the next generation, and give people the opportunity to help shape it locally, nationally and globally.

We are proud to hold a Silver Engage Watermark, recognising our commitment to high-quality public engagement. We support staff and researchers with funding, guidance and training to develop and deliver activities that connect research with communities and create real-world impact.
