Top tips for... Public and community engagement

You may wish to promote your research through activities that come under the umbrella of public and community engagement, for example:

• through participation in festivals, public lectures and talks (e.g. The Oxfordshire Science Festival, the Oxford Christmas Lectures);
• involvement of the public as researchers (e.g. web-based experiments);
• engaging young people in schools to inspire them about your research (e.g. Oxford’s many school outreach activities);
• engaging with the wider world via new media (e.g. the University’s research webpages; the University’s Science Blog; or the audio and video podcasts on Oxford’s iTunes U.)
