5 Ways To Engage For 'Free!'
Public engagement costs time and money, right? Well it definitely involves time, but many activities can be performed at very little or no cost. Check out our top 5 ideas below:
- Spend time in local schools and museums as an ambassador, you could even display your own exhibition or collection
- Give a talk or help at a local cafe event
- Write about your research for a blog, student magazine or record a podcast
- Get involved with events at the University of Aberdeen such as the University Festival, National Science and Engineering Week and open doors day
- Contribute to an online engagement project, such as www.askabiologist.org.uk or citizen projects
Contact the team if you would like to discuss an idea!
Cafe Series
Speak to an audience about your research. The cafe series runs throughout the year in Aberdeen. Professors, lecturers, researchers and PhD students are all welcome to talk at these events.
Write for Au magazine
Write an article, or suggest a story to Aberdeen University Science Magazine (Au) magazine. Produced by students from the University of Aberdeen. The magazine has received praise from the BBC's David Shuckman, the European Science Advisor Professor Anne Glover and appeared on the Scientific American website.
