Public Engagement
Members of our department engage frequently with the public to showcase their research, inspire the younger generation and engage with the local community. Our researchers committed to sharing their work with a wide variety of different populations, across all age groups, interest groups and all sections of society. A core segment of our pubic engagement efforts involves reaching out to school pupils who are interested in studying psychology and neuroscience, with talks, workshops, outreach events and the UNIQ Spring and Summer schools.
