Topic

• The researcher's experience of public engagement.

Introduction

In this lesson we will use the experiences of Edinburgh Neuroscience community to look at why and how we engage with the public, and whether researchers derive any benefit. From activities with children, to discussion events for adults and policymakers, science-enhanced film, theatre and art events, Edinburgh Neuroscience has evolved an engagement programme that provides a multitude of platforms through which both the researcher and the public can engage. This provides us with the opportunity to evaluate different approaches and what might work for you.
