The Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) is offering public engagement training for researchers working on a BBSRC funded grants or in BBSRC funded institutions.
This is a one day course that will provide an introduction to public engagement, the need to develop public engagement activities, social/ethical issues involved in public engagement and evaluation of public engagement activities. The course is particularly suited to early career researchers and PhD students.
The course will take place at the MRC (1 Kemble St, London) on 10th July.
