Governance
We have a Public Engagement Advisory Board that meet every 4 months. The Board provides advice to the Centre on public engagement and provide new ideas for programme development. Membership and performance of the board will be reviewed annually. We also have a Public Engagement Committee who meet every 3 months, made up of staff and students from within the Centre, to lead on PE and to champion PE within their Department. We have also established Public Engagement Ambassadors who represent the student community and provides insights and advice on integrating public engagement into our research culture and practice.
The Public Engagement Manager has a mentor, Dr Kerry Leslie, who offers strategic support.
