Training and support
To get the best out of working partnerships we have put together a range of training programmes that will challenge the way we approach collaborative research.
Our current training opportunities help to build skills for writing research questions with partners, give practical advice on managing projects and provide guidance on evaluating impact.
Our programmes
Our training supports UCL staff and students at whatever stage they are on their public engagement journey. Whether you’re just starting out and need support finding your voice to communicate your research externally, or whether you’re ready to develop a dialogue, make collaborative decisions and work with external groups.
These training opportunities are delivered online, giving you the opportunity to learn at your own pace and to best correspond with timings of your project.
Find your voice
For postgraduate students, or those wanting to develop confidence in communicating their research, this course includes practical tips including audience identification and how to adapt to a variety of contexts.
Engagement and Impact training
These interactive sessions will offer opportunities to explore different aspects of public engagement, from its role in the impact narrative to how we can apply for funding to support it. If you're an academic or member professional services staff why not see how it can support you?
