Public Engagement

Another way to share your expertise and enthusiasm for your research is through public engagement. The University runs a range of one-off and ongoing public events and initiatives that are fantastic opportunities for you to share your research and its findings with a broad audience. This includes events such as York Talks and the Festival of Ideas. For more information, visit the university events page or get in contact with the biology engagement team.

Like teaching, public engagement activities can:

● improve your confidence;

● enhance your ability to explain and engage people with your research;

● allow you to reflect on the impact of your research and why it is important;

● assimilate you into the faculty as a recognised expert in your field.
