Public Engagement Forum : Engage : University of Dundee

The University's Public Engagement Forum

Our Public Engagement Forum is a group of leaders and champions of public engagement from all of our academic Schools and our professional services Directorates. Meetings are chaired by Prof John Rowan, our Vice-Principal for Research, Knowledge Exchange and Wider Impact.

The Forum is a sub-committee of Senate and reports in to the Research and Knowledge Exchange Committee. This formal structure exemplifies the emphasis the University places on engagement.

The Public Engagement Forum first met in May 2018, and meets every two months. The Forum is action-focused and is leading the University's efforts to embed our already excellent public engagement activity in all that we do.

The Forum aims to

Implement and raise awareness of the Public Engagement Strategy that states our vision and sets out the ways in which we support engagement in our University community
Support the sharing and development of best practice between different areas of the University
Help the University of Dundee to become Scotland's most engaged University
