Public Engagement (PE) Support

The University of Groningen supports and aids scientists of the UG in designing, planning and evaluating their Public Engagement (PE) activities to increase societal involvement of our researchers.

This Support Website is suited for researchers on all levels (PhD-students, postdocs, assistant/ associate/ full professors), and for researchers with and without prior PE experience. 

The overview below contains a number of Public Engagement and impact evaluation tools and provides inspiration for PE activities.

This website was created by Science LinX, the science engagement centre of the Faculty of Science and Engineering that connects science with the general public, schools and societal partners.

Are you planning to join one of the science festivals this year?
To help you prepare, the Schools for Science and Society and the Public Engagement pillar of the Open Science Programme will host a walk-in session on 21 May (09:00 – 11:30) at the House of Connections. Here, you can receive practical tips, explore effective ways to engage your audience, and get advice from experienced peers and science communication specialists. Please indicate below if you would like to join. You can register here.
