What is Public Engagement—and Why Does It Matter?
Why should universities, government, and industry engage with the public? What impact can it have—and how might it influence your own work?
Join us for an engaging webinar exploring public engagement, its value across sectors, and how it drives meaningful outcomes. Through real-world case studies which have employed deliberative dialogue, we’ll look at different approaches, what was learned, and how these insights were applied in practice including impact upon policy. This webinar brings together researchers, policymakers, industry professionals, and members of the public to explore the power and potential of public engagement.
You’ll hear from those behind the case studies, followed by a panel discussion with offering you the chance to ask questions and engage directly with the speakers. Whether you're new to public engagement or looking to deepen your understanding, this event will offer valuable perspectives on how deliberation and dialogue can enrich research and policy.
Who should attend:Policymakers, academics, technology implementers, SMEs, and representatives from large enterprises.
