How do people indentify opportunities for public engagement? How often is public engagement required for grant writing etc.? Are there variations across sectors / fields? I work in industry, so I dont require public money, hence I dont write grant proposals. I am keen to understand more about this area following a recent MSc in Science Communication where I found out a lot of my fellow students spent a good amount of time stressing about finding PE opportunities.
Hello Michael Ormond
In my experience, it seems to be mostly by invitation. I do not usually ever get invited and I really wonder how some of my colleagues get these ones. Maybe they are already well known in their field/discipline (?)
Public engagement opportunities are identified through staying informed, networking, and following relevant organizations. The frequency varies by project and field. While crucial in academia, industries also engage with the public for various reasons. Understanding public engagement enhances communication skills and contributes to corporate responsibility efforts.
