This RCUK funded Catalyst project has now finished. The University continues to support public engagement activities, please contact with any enquiries.
On 12 December 2012 we had the first meeting of our External Advisory Board. We’ve asked the board to function as a critical friend, checking whether we are really meeting our aspirations for public engagement in research, and for embedding a culture of public engagement within the University of Exeter.
The advisory board will meet twice a year but are open to conversations between meetings. If you want to raise anything with the advisory board please contact Erinma Ochu (Chair) or Helen Featherstone (Catalyst Project Manager).
