Introduction

University of Birmingham is working with the National Coordinating Centre for Public Engagement (NCCPE) as part of the Engage Watermark programme. The Watermark is an award assessed by NCCPE that recognises and supports universities to embed public engagement across their work.

Similar to a charter mark, the Engage Watermark is an award granted to institutions, faculties or research centres that demonstrate strategic support for public engagement and a commitment to improving that support. It signals that engagement runs through the fabric of the institution.

When we talk about public engagement, what do we mean?

Public engagement is a term used in a variety of sectors, from arts and heritage to science policy and local government. While in some sectors it has a precise definition, in others it is used more flexibly. 

The NCCPE defines public engagement broadly, to encompass the many and varied ways university staff and students engage with people, groups and communities outside the institution. This covers a range of types of engagement, for instance civic or community engagement, patient involvement, collaborative research, student engagement, etc. Engagement is by definition a two-way process, involving interaction and listening, with the goal of generating mutual benefit.

The survey

We would be grateful if you would complete this survey to share how well you think University of Birmingham supports public engagement through the work it undertakes with you. 

We estimate the survey will take around 10 minutes to complete (longer if you choose to provide more detailed feedback). You will need to complete the survey in one go as you are unable to save your answers before they are submitted.
