Public Engagement Forum

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

The current focus of the Forum is delivering on our Engage Watermark Action Plan.

We have created five working groups involving members of the Forum, our Public Engagement Network and our University community to monitor progress on these actions.

The five working groups are:

1. Advocacy and Strategy - Chair position vacant
2. Celebrating our Successes - Led by Dr Anna Robb
3. Evaluation and Recording - Led by Dr Jon Urch
4. Partnerships - Led by Margaret Teven
5. Supporting our Staff and Students - Led by Dr Andrea Rodriguez
