We’re pleased to announce our first in-person meeting of the network for over two years! Come along to enjoy refreshments and meet colleagues also interested in public engagement.
The Public Engagement with Research (PER) Network is a place for BU staff to learn, network, share best practice and collaborate. In this meeting we’ll look at how you can engage with the media to boost the profile, reach and impact of your research.
We’ll hear from Nathaniel Hobby (BU PR And Corporate Communications Manager) on how to attract media coverage for your research, and how to handle the media to ensure they understand your key messages.
You’ll have the opportunity for questions and discussion. The room is open for half an hour both before and after the meeting, for refreshments and networking.
This meeting will be held in F310, Fusion Building, Talbot Campus at 2-3pm on 22 June.
The meeting is open for anyone to turn up, but for catering purposes it’s really useful if you register ahead, just sign up in two clicks below and you’ll be invited to the meeting. You can also join the network.
