Scottish Public Engagement Network meetings held in Glasgow
The College was delighted to host two recent meetings of the Scottish Public Engagement Network (ScotPEN); an inclusive, collaborative network of people involved in public engagement in Scotland. In May 2018, Imran Khan, Head of Public Engagement at Wellcome Trust, revealed a new strategic direction for Wellcome’s public engagement funding. Network members and academic staff discussed the implications of this strategy for Scotland and how ScotPEN can contribute to it.
ScotPEN returned to the University in June 2018 for its second annual meeting of public engagement professionals working in higher education and research institutions. A panel of speakers from Wellcome, UK Research & Innovation and Scottish Funding Council gave updates and answered audience questions about public engagement funding. Plenary speakers from the National Co-ordinating Centre for Public Engagement, University of Dundee and University College London also shared expertise. Wellcome’s Institutional Strategic Support Fund funded the meetings and outcomes will be shared in a forthcoming report.
