Why should universities, government, and industry engage with the public? How can it inform and direct research, policies and strategies?
About the session
Public perception can make or break the success of a project or initiative, but it’s often not considered early enough in the planning process to shape strategy and messaging effectively. Join this webinar to discover how engaging the public can create real impact and influence research, shape policy, and improve practice.
Through real-world case studies which have employed deliberative dialogue, we’ll look at different approaches, what was learned, and how these insights were applied in practice, including their impact on policy. This webinar brings together researchers, policymakers, industry professionals, and members of the public to explore the power and potential of public engagement.
You’ll hear from those behind the case studies, followed by a panel discussion with offering you the chance to ask questions and engage directly with the speakers. Whether you’re new to public engagement or looking to deepen your understanding, this event will offer valuable perspectives on how deliberation and dialogue can enrich research and policy.
