Do you work as a researcher at UMC Utrecht and are you unable to access the information about public engagement on the University intranet? We are happy to help you too, so please do not hesitate to contact us.

Faculty support for public engagement projects

At every Faculty there are Research Support Offices and Communications departments whose staff support researchers planning on engaging an audience. Please contact the Communications Department of your faculty [intranet] for help and advice.

You are not alone, do involve the communications colleagues at your faculty. We can help you translate your research to a public engagement project.

Open Science Programme

Utrecht University wants to promote open science as part of its promise to make science more open and even more reliable, efficient and relevant to society. That is why it developed the Open Science Programme.  This programme aims to stimulate and facilitate researchers to put open science into practice. Public Engagement is one of its themes. The Open Science Public Engagement Fellows work to stimulate and inspire public engagement. Please contact the fellows at your Faculty or read the Frequently Asked Questions about Open Science theme Public Engagement.
