Message from the Higher Education Academy “Following on from the HEA-funded Public Engagement in the GEES Disciplines seminar at Manchester Metropolitan University in April 2012, a Good Practice Guide is being prepared. We are looking for short (c.500 words) case studies of public engagement in GEES disciplines to be included in the Guide. Case studies should broadly follow the following format: (1) Brief context (e.g. department, programme, type of public engagement – general public, industry, local community, schools etc.), (2) the nature of that public engagement (what you did and how you did it), (3) the benefits of the activity for all those concerned, and (4) any longer term / sustainable impacts arising from the activity. Please also provide (5) links to any useful resources, and (6) provide a suitable, copyright-free image for use in the publication.

If you have a short case study that you would like to be included in the Guide, or have any questions, or suggestions for other inputs, please contact Dawn Nicholson (d.nicholson@mmu.ac.uk) as soon as possible. The completed Guide will be compiled for the end of June and so there is a very short deadline for any contributions of Friday 14 June”
