<p class="MsoNormal">The Institute for Policy and Engagement together with Lakeside Arts are excited to announce the launch of
<i>In the Limelight</i>, a new public engagement training programme for UoN research staff. Over the course of a month, with mentoring from a team of experts, you will learn how to develop an idea for a live session and deliver this from the Djanogly Theatre
stage. The performance will be recorded with support from a full technical crew and broadcast on a platform that best suits your intended audience.<o:p></o:p></p>
