Public Engagement Professionals network

Joining the Public Engagement Professionals Network will allow you to:  

• stay connected to fellow alumni of NCCPE programmes and training 
• foster new connections and collaborations with sector peers 
• share intelligence about the latest thinking, good practice and policy development related to public engagement  
• share solutions and problems and support each other 
• take advantage of relevant low-cost CPD and training for PEPs at various stages of your career 

This network is primarily aimed at public engagement professionals (or PEPs) working in professional services roles in higher education institutions (HEIs) or research institutes across the UK. Whether public engagement is formally part of their job description or not, this group face a series of common and often unique challenges in working to support or coordinate high-quality public engagement within UK higher education institutions or research institutes.

We also welcome those working in similar roles in the sector, or those working with HEIs, research institutes or funders to coordinate and support public engagement.

We do also welcome members from outside the UK, but the majority of our membership is UK-based and therefore the content of events/discussions reflects this.

Annual Calendar of events - these are held online. Events provide a mix of formal Continuing Professional Development, structured networking and skills sharing, as well as a chance to hear from NCCPE and other sector experts about the latest developments.  

Quarterly Newsletter - specifically aimed at professionals in the sector. 

Applications for Membership of the PEP Network are open all year round and the network is currently free to join.
