[Public-engagement] Nottingham Digitally Engaged 2020 - Public Engagement Sessions

[Maria Richards]

Dear Colleagues

In the place of an in person, day-long Annual Conference, The Institute for Policy and Engagement will be hosting a series of events, webinars and online workshops for colleagues across faculties, schools and campuses at the University. With a line-up of impressive internal and external speakers, we will be exploring recent developments in policy and public engagement. In light of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the UK's departure from the EU and new reliance on digital ways of engaging, sessions will encourage debate, learning and information sharing on new approaches to engagement.

I want to bring your attention to sessions that have an exclusive focus on public engagement.

Public engagement in a digital world
18 November 3-4pm

A webinar with Christopher Gell from the Digital Research Team. He will share new approaches to digital engagement with the public, provide case studies and outline internal support available to researchers.

Hyper-local engagement
19 November 10-11.30

An online workshop led by David Owen (Associate of National Co-ordinating Centre for Public Engagement), featuring Rachel Fenely (Lakeside Arts). They will explore how to engage with local communities under current restrictions, using a blended approach (both digital and non-digital methods). The focus will be on working with smaller groups, rather than mass engagement. This is a workshop rather than a webinar, so will involve breakout spaces for discussion.

Citizen Science
25 November 10-11.30

A webinar with Rick Hall (Founder of Ignite! and passionate advocate for involving communities in research) presenting an introduction to citizen science and an exploration of how the term is expanding to cover more disciplines. He will go through the ten principles of citizen science, provide examples of citizen science in action and talk about how to do this work in partnership.

Events are free and open to all staff.

I have also included an attachment that details the full programme, including a Tri-campus roundtable with Vice-Chancellor Professor Shearer West.

We hope to see you at one of the sessions.

Best wishes

Maria
