Summary of Questions and Issues
- How do the Panel’s institutions recognise and promote the development of skills that make PE work well eg. project management, financial skills, time management, etc?
- Effecting PE needs “passion”, do the Panel see this promoted by their institutions’ systems and line management?
- How do we make sure the funders learn from what we learn and that this influences future HEIs? Can we do this?
- I still want to know how the public feel about being engaged, or whether they even know it is happening.
- How do we reward (incentivise) staff to move in and out of academic/university environment?
- If PE gets ‘wrapped up’ with enterprise, how do we top it becoming enterprise’s poor little sister?
- What are the models from elsewhere (apart from the BBC) for incentivising PE?
- Measuring shift in viewing the culture change within universities from the point of outside bodies eg. community organisations, public etc.
- Crucial to PE is developing trust. How can institutions help foster this internally and externally?
- We are supported in all organisations by the very top senior levels and there is a lot of grassroots support and activity. The middle of the organisation feels invisible, unsupported and not on board. How do we begin to change this?
- How can we be more pioneering (across our institutions)?
- There’s a lot of discussion about how academics can contribute to the PE agenda – what about support staff?
