NCCPE Seminars
NCCPE Seminars is a webinar programme bringing together speakers from across UK and global engagement landscapes to share their perspectives on current agendas.
The NCCPE Seminars programme will bring together speakers from across national and international engagement landscapes to share their perspectives on key themes such as civic partnerships, engaged research, and inclusive engagement practice. Be inspired by innovative thought leadership and creative engagement approaches, whilst developing tactics for culture change with your peers.
These online webinars are for anyone working in or with Higher Education Institutions across the globe. Simply listen in, or take an active part in the conversation with other changemakers in the sector.
Past Seminars
Our first seminar (March 2025) focussed on innovative engagement practice and cultures that support it. We welcomed speakers from our most recent case studies to share their work, and met our most recent Engage Watermark winners. The University of Suffolk and Robert Gordon University reflected on the approaches their institutions are taking to support engagement, before receiving their awards.
Global Perspectives on Scholarly Dissemination
In this NCCPE Seminar you'll hear about Global Engagement Perspectives on Scholarly Dissemination. The peer-reviewed research article is still considered important for sharing new and impactful research and practice. However, for many in community-university engagement, the dominant conventions of academic publishing marginalise or exclude potential authors who want to share their work, and the things they seek to share: collaboration, methodological innovation, a diversity of knowledges and practices, and an emphasis on action.=
The international panel discuss: What’s worth championing in scholarly research communication and dissemination and what could be improved? What innovations already exist? What role does technology have to play?
Engaged Futures, Reimagining the Future
In this NCCPE Seminar you'll hear all about the NCCPE Engaged Futures Programme.
Over the last six months the NCCPE have been consulting with people about potential futures for higher education. We have imagined what universities and research organisations might be like in 2045 and considered how universities will be more inclusive; recognise and value different knowledges; and be more interconnected and collaborative with others. Involving people who work alongside and within the HE sector, the consultation has been supported by our Engage Catalysts who have extended the conversation to their networks.
