Public Engagement

University Opportunities

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.


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.
