Public engagement
What is Public Engagement?
Public Engagement is the term used in Universities to describe ways that Higher Education Institutions connect with the outside world.
The University of Huddersfield's Public Engagement Strategy sets out the priorities for us in undertaking this work. You can download a copy here: University of Huddersfield Public Engagement Strategy 2022-2025
The four key priorities are:
- Embed public engagement in our research
- Support engaged students
- Create open, inclusive and accessible entry points to the University
- Communicate and Celebrate
If you want to know more about the strategy, the University's approach to Public Engagement, or anything else, please contact Dave Smith, Public Engagement Manager at public@hud.ac.uk
