Public & Community Engagement Conference 2026: Making bigger differences

Location: Lecture Theatre 1

Speakers:

• Naomi Gibson – Public and Policy Engagement Facilitator, MSD (University of Oxford)
• Public Engagement stakeholders and Enriching Engagement award holders (to be announced)

Between 2019 and 2022, the University of Oxford delivered Enriching Engagement, a devolved public engagement funding scheme supported by Wellcome’s Institutional Research Engagement Fund. The scheme awarded local grants and provided tailored pre- and post-award support to strengthen engagement practice.  

As part of a legacy evaluation, we are reflecting on what this model achieved at multiple levels: for individual researchers, for communities, and for the institution as a whole.  

Emerging themes include the importance of longer-term investment, the role of pre- and post-award support, the distinction between project success and cultural embedding, and the interplay between funding and leadership. A key question running through the evaluation is how structural change within one department can act as a catalyst for others. In some cases, projects appeared to shift norms, confidence and visibility around engagement. In others, impact was more contained.  

This session will share early findings from the evaluation alongside reflections from previous award holders. Together we will explore what enables engagement to move from isolated activity to embedded practice, and how funding models can support or limit this shift.  

Participants will be invited to reflect on their own departmental contexts and consider what conditions are needed for engagement to become sustained, visible and influential beyond a single project. 

Location: Lecture Theatre 2

Speakers:

• Aileen Marshall Brown (University of Oxford)
• Juliet Scott-Barrett (University of Oxford)

The Responsible Knowledge Exchange, Engagement and Impact (RKEEI) Framework and Principles have been developed by colleagues at University of Oxford to support responsible practice and to support impact culture change. The RKEEI Framework describes 6 intersecting principles of responsibility and their implications for practice.

How might the RKEEI framework help researchers and practitioners in building responsible, trust-centred engagement and knowledge exchange?

This interactive workshop will use scenarios to support participants to familiarise themselves with the framework and to think through the knowledge and skills they need to become truly responsible, resilient and impactful practitioners.

Location: Seminar Room 2

Speakers:

• Oliver Thomas (University of Oxford)
• Ellie Beaman (Oxford Brookes)
• Camille Britton (Oxford University Museum of Natural History) TBC
• Dominic Grantly Smith (Faraday institution)

In this session, we will explore why a hybrid approach is vital for meaningful, lasting public communication and engagement with research. We will discuss how initiatives such as fairs, museum exhibits and other public activities are most effective when they are supported by confident, connected and well-equipped researchers.

Maximum impact is achieved when events run in parallel to meaningful researcher engagement and skills development initiatives, such as seed funding, training and community-building activities. This session will be highly interactive with panel discussions and Q&A, bringing together professionals involved in researcher development and direct public engagement to share best practices for building a research culture where impact through engagement is at the core of what we do. 

Location: Seminar Room 3

Speakers:

• Mina Samangooei (Oxford Brookes University)
• Polly Kerr (University of Oxford)
• Martin Gillett, Director (Oxfordshire Play Association)  
• Juliet Carpenter, Director of Research (Global Centre on Healthcare and Urbanisation)

We are a collaborative team from Oxfordshire Play Association (OPA), the University of Oxford and Oxford Brookes University. Our session shares our partnership journey since 2022 through Science Together, demonstrating how co-production can drive local impact.  

We will outline key outputs, including the report ‘Why is Play Important in Oxfordshire?’, now used to support advocacy and funding, and follow-on work funded by the PCER seed fund exploring barriers to play faced by families in lower socio-economic communities. This led to practical guidance for parents and recommendations for policymakers. We will also present OPA’s current Community Partnership project to develop a county-wide play strategy and implementation workshop.  

Blending presentation with participatory play activities, the session invites practitioners, funders and policymakers to reflect on inclusive engagement, aligning with the conference theme by evidencing sustained, locally rooted collaboration that supports shared learning and strengthens community outcomes.

Location: Seminar Room 4

Speakers:

• Nicole Jashapara, Schools Creative Producer (Ashmolean Museum)
• Melanie Rowntree, Head of Schools and University Engagement (Ashmolean Museum)
• Dhanusha Borkar (BeUniq)  
• Member from a partner school in Bradford (TBC)

Our session models the decolonial, object-based engagement methods we are using in workshops where secondary school pupils contribute to shaping a new Ashmolean session called ‘Global Encounters’. ‘Global Encounters’ is based on the history of the British Empire in the Indian subcontinent, within a critical thinking framework that considers the voices of contemporary Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi artists and makers. Research by Professor Mallica Kumbera Landrus for the Ashmolean exhibition ‘Colonial Views of India: Photographs of Eugene Clutterbuck Impey’ provides the foundation for interrogating the colonial lenses of museum objects.

The conference session will briefly introduce ‘Global Encounters’ and the importance of including multiple perspectives in school sessions. The majority of the session will be workshop-style object handling, where attendees engage with objects used in school workshops: replica stereographs by colonial officer Eugene Impey alongside contemporary objects by artists and makers. Participants will develop a looking ‘toolbox’ to investigate such objects, finding what questions uncover colonial perspectives and open new interpretations.

There is a mutually enriching relationship between sharing research with school communities and gathering pupils’ perspectives: their voices are embedded in the session, shaping how we teach this history to future audiences. In modelling this method, we demonstrate how strengthening connections between curatorial research and schools builds meaningful collaboration and sustainable impact. This session is for university staff interested in research-led, object-based engagement that strengthens community connections and makes engagement more accessible, particularly through a decolonial framework.

This panel explores how co-creating accessible scientific animations with families who have lived experience can transform both research communication and relationships between researchers and communities. Drawing on our project Genes, Brains, and Breakthroughs, we will share how short, family-informed animations were developed to explain neurodevelopmental conditions and emerging gene-based therapies. Researchers and family contributors will reflect on the full journey—from initial concept and scriptwriting to feedback and final production—highlighting how families shaped language, tone, and priorities. Through examples and discussion, we will examine what families need from researchers, how co-creation builds trust and relevance, and the practical challenges of working in partnership. The session demonstrates how creative approaches like animation can make complex science more accessible while fostering meaningful, collaborative relationships that go beyond one-way dissemination toward genuine engagement.

This session explores how respect-centred, participatory approaches can be used to co-design and deliver meaningful research in diverse contexts. Bringing together experiences from co-designed agricultural decision-support tools and community-based conservation research in Africa, Asia and the UK, it examines how researchers, communities, and practitioners collaborate to shape both knowledge and outcomes. Drawing on Human-Centred Design and Human-Centred Conservation, the session highlights practical strategies for identifying meaningful priorities, interpreting findings collaboratively and ensuring research outputs are shared accessibly. It also critically reflects on the challenges: can co-design genuinely redistribute power, or does it risk reinforcing inequalities? What are the limits of participatory approaches in structurally unequal systems? Through real-world examples and discussion, participants will gain insights into supporting inclusive, impactful research partnerships that prioritise shared learning, local relevance, and equitable knowledge exchange across diverse settings.

• Rachel Kuo, Research Fellow, NDORMS (University of Oxford)
• Judi Smith, PPI member.

High-quality Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) depends not only on good intentions, but on the practical skills required to facilitate inclusive, respectful, and dialogical discussions. This interactive workshop responds directly to the theme of Building Responsible, Trust-Centred Engagement and Knowledge Exchange by strengthening researcher capability in facilitating effective PPI groups.

Designed as a grounding and practical introductory session, this workshop will support researchers from across disciplines to better understand the complexities of responsible facilitation and encourage further engagement with more in-depth training offered by NDORMS. Following a concise introduction to key principles including psychological safety, managing power dynamics, inclusive communication, and clear action-setting, participants will engage in a structured, skills-based exercise.

Working in small groups with realistic, cross-disciplinary PPI scenarios, participants will rotate roles to practise leading short discussion segments, followed by structured feedback. This applied format enables participants to test approaches, reflect on challenges, and identify practical techniques that build trust and ensure all voices are heard.

A short plenary debrief will draw out transferable learning and highlight common facilitation pitfalls and examples of good practice. Participants will complete a brief action prompt, identifying one tangible step to implement in their next PPI activity. By centring experiential learning and skill development, this workshop equips researchers with practical tools to strengthen responsible engagement and create more inclusive, trust-centred PPI spaces.

• Dr Grace Lockrobin, Co-Director (Thoughtful, a UK educational charity specialising in philosophical enquiry and Philosophy for Children and Communities – P4C)
• Vara Raturi, Uehiro Oxford Institute (University of Oxford)  

This workshop presents philosophical enquiry as an innovative form of public engagement. The session will first model the practice, then analyse the experience with workshop participants, before outlining the possibilities of this approach within a proposed collaboration between the Uehiro Oxford Institute and Thoughtful.

Philosophical enquiry is an accessible and versatile method of facilitating dialogue between people of all ages and levels of experience. It enables participants to explore complex ethical questions through collaborative reasoning and structured discussion. This approach, developed through the tradition of Philosophy for Children and Communities (P4C), supports the development of critical thinking while creating space for respectful and constructive dialogue across disagreement.

In this session we will explore ethical questions raised by the restitution of artefacts that have been looted, stolen, or acquired in opaque ways by museums and collectors. Through a short series of playful, dialogic activities, delegates will experience key principles of philosophical enquiry in practice, including democratic, enquiry-based learning and non-directive facilitation. Following the enquiry, we will reflect together on the experience and draw out the principles that underpin this approach. The session will conclude with an outline of plans to explore the value of philosophical enquiry as a means of engaging wider publics in various context. Participants will be invited to reflect on how such approaches might support engagement within their own disciplines, institutions, and contexts.

Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) tends to be used to describe engagement activities in high-income contexts, whereas community engagement is more often used in low and middle-income contexts. In practice, there are several areas of overlap, where there are opportunities for shared learning and distinct approaches. In this workshop we will explore how we can connect the learning between different contexts through joint reflection.

Yingxi Zhao will present on the synergies between these approaches, and how it relates to his engagement in health workforce research.

Jemma Houghton and Sarah van Borek will reflect on how their videography collaboration on improving diabetes footcare in South Africa resonates with principles of community engagement, PPI and participatory action research.

Sassy Molyneux and Alun Davies will be the discussant and will facilitate group reflections on the cross-over roles that are often involved in PPI, community engagement and participatory action research, and how this could be an opportunity for shared learning.

This interactive workshop-discussion explores how art can be meaningfully integrated into research practice to enhance public engagement. The session will examine how creative methods can support community involvement, improve participant recruitment, engage under-represented groups, and provide therapeutic or wellbeing benefits within research contexts. The session will be led by two experienced artists, supported by two researchers working at the intersection of art and science. The session will combine facilitated discussion with hands-on creative practice. Throughout the session, participants will reflect on discussion prompts while creating a small fabric patch using accessible art materials. Each patch will represent their personal interpretation of Art & Science and its role in engagement. At the end of the workshop, the patches will be collected and sewn into a collaborative Art & Science quilt, visually capturing the diversity of ideas, perspectives, and approaches shared during the session. This collective artwork will serve as a tangible representation of shared learning and collaboration. The session directly aligns with the conference theme of “Engaging for Shared Learning, Inclusion and Local Impact.” It demonstrates shared learning through collaborative creation, models inclusive and accessible engagement methods, and highlights how creative approaches can foster meaningful local impact across diverse communities.
