The NCCPE seeks to support a culture change in universities. Our vision is of a higher education sector making a vital, strategic and valued contribution to 21st-century society through its public engagement activity.
We are the national co-ordinating centre for public engagement
We help universities and the public engage with each other. With our expert advice, training and tools, public engagement becomes acheivable, measurable and above all, successful.
Public Engagement Academy
We're pleased to launch our first Public Engagement Academy, aimed at anyone who is working to enhance the quality, visibility and impact of public engagement with research within their organisation.
Case study of the week
In this week's case study, we're looking at an entry from our Engage Competition 2014, Day of the Girl Norwich, which aimed to raise awareness of the issues facing girls locally, nationally and internationally.
Self assess your institution with the EDGE Tool
How well does your institution currently support public engagement? Where are you doing well, and are there areas which you could quickly and efficiently target to make a big difference?
Manifesto for public engagement
We are inviting every university and research institute in the UK to sign up to our Manifesto for public engagement. Find out more about the Manifesto, why you should sign it and who else has already signed up.
