Good public engagement benefits both researchers and the public – but what is the best way to measure its success? 

Workshop 1: Evaluation of Engagement, Monday 18 March, 1-4pm, F110, Talbot Campus 

Workshop 2: Advanced Evaluation, Tuesday 19 March, 9am-12pm, S108, Lansdowne Campus 

One of the most experienced public engagement trainers in the UK, Dr Jamie Gallagher, is coming to BU to deliver two training sessions on how to evaluate your public engagement activity.  

These in-person workshops will highlight how to demonstrate success for funders, record impact, help you improve your processes and give you a better understanding of the people you are connecting with. 

Workshop 1 guides you through the best evaluation processes, showing you when, why and how to use evaluation to provide clear, reliable data. 

Workshop 2 builds on the learning, taking a more in-depth look at developing evaluation plans for even the most complex topics. You will explore data capture, analysis and reporting and also learn how to write evaluation reports for funders or the REF. 

Book on Evaluation of Engagement here and Advanced Evaluation here, selecting the appropriate session from the drop down menu.  NOTE: This is a two-day evaluation training workshop. Although you can choose to do either of the workshops, we highly recommend you do both – you need to sign up for them separately.

Tea, coffee and biscuits will be provided at both sessions.
