Public Engagement with Research Committee (PERC) warmly invites you to join our 3rd annual Public Engagement with Research Day on Thursday 15th December, 2016. PER Day is our signature whole-day event dedicated to sharing best practice, skills and learning around public engagement. This event is also a space to celebrate and recognize the PER efforts of our research community whilst offering opportunities to open up dialogue about the future direction of PER at Birmingham with senior management and external research funders. We hope you will seize this opportunity to contribute and take part in our away day. This is your chance to ask the University, funders and other academics the how, why, what, when, who of public engagement. This lively event is meant to support, inspire and thought-provoke!
