Training and events

The IOE Research Development Team and the IOE Research Engagement and Impact Group are bringing together leading experts, policy makers, funders, practitioners and researchers at all career stages to ensure authentic engagement and impact are key considerations in research projects from their inception.

IOE Public Engagement Masterclass Series 2026

Across these in-person sessions, award-winning IOE researchers with extensive experience in public engagement will share practical insights, approaches, and lessons learned from their work. Each masterclass will include opportunities for discussion and questions, as well as space for participants to reflect on their own experiences. Attendees will also be invited to provide feedback on IOE’s public engagement support, helping to inform future provision and embed public engagement more effectively across our research culture.
