The British Science Association is running a series of workshops about Public Engagement with Research for those funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).

Our workshops will help leading EPSRC researchers to learn about new opportunities for public engagement with research, specifically:

• What public engagement is and why it matters 
• Developing the connection between public engagement and research
• Opportunities for funding
• Examples and case studies of good public engagement
• Sources of support, guidance and best practice

Although EPSRC are no longer funding public engagement activities via their Partnerships for Public Engagement Scheme, they are embedding it through their research and training investments. Public engagement activities will continue to be supported via research grants as part of the Pathways to Impact plan.
