Public Engagement Initiative
Warwick Institute of Engagement (WIE) provides a bridge between the Universityโs research community and diverse people living and working in communities outside the University. Engaging with the public can enrich researcher's work and highlight it's impact and relevance beyond the University campus. Dialogues between researchers and communities can lead to stronger research, better lives and lasting relationships.
If you have an idea or feel your research could lend itself to public engagement activity, WIE are offering training and additional support to those interested in developing a Public Engagement initiative.
