Whether you're just beginning your journey in Public Engagement or already have experience and are seeking additional support or inspiration, we offer a comprehensive portfolio of training, resources, case studies, funding opportunities and tailored support to help you create meaningful, real-world impact through your work.
Our training and development opportunities run throughout the year, helping to strengthen public engagement capabilities, confidence and develop transferrable skills.
Our annual Development Call provides funding for pilot engagement activities, with a particular focus on collaborative applications or projects.
Our Planning and Evaluation pages can guide you if you're just getting started with designing your engagement approach or need inspiration on the best way to capture learning and measure success for your work.
If you're preparing a research bid, you can contact us directly at peru@soton.ac.uk after exploring this site. For example, many Southampton researchers include costs for involvement with one or more of our engagement platforms (see the Festivals, Roadshows and Community Hubs via the menu above). Alternatively take a look at some examples of projects funded by the team through our collection of case studies.
Further support for staff and students is also available on our SharePoint site.
