Colleagues may be interested in BBSRC’s Public Engagement Training Course that will take place on 28 March 2014 in central London.

The course is designed to support BBSRC-funded researchers to carry out effective public engagement that reflects upon the social and ethical perspectives of their work. Participants will learn about what public engagement is and why it is important, and will begin to develop some of the skills required to carry out public engagement. It will be an interactive day, combining information provision with activities and discussion.

It is open to any researcher supported by BBSRC, working on a BBSRC grant or based at a BBSRC-funded institute and is free of charge.

Places are limited so for more information, to register your interest in this course, please go to: www.bbsrc.ac.uk/petraining.
