ABOUT PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT
Public Engagement identifies, facilitates and delivers a series of programmes and activities to showcase FMHLS research, ultimately increasing the ‘Science Capital’ and STEM aspiration of public audiences.
The Faculty of Medicine, Health & Life Sciences presents a prolific presence annually at the Northern Ireland Science Festival, from centre-specific open days and lab tours to research presentations and immersive visitor attraction experiences.
Within FMHLS, many of our researchers are involved in debating key public health issues and we deliver major public facing events focusing on significant societal issues.
