We organise public events throughout the year.
FORTHCOMING EVENTS:
We host a variety of public events at the University's annual Cambridge Festival and Festival of Plants. These will be listed on our Events page when details are available.
If you are interested in volunteering to help at one of our events, please contact the Programme Manager.
Public engagement support for Cambridge Global Food Security Members
UK Research Councils are clear on the value of public engagement and the role that it can play as a pathway to impact. Guidance from RCUK states:
"Public engagement may be included as one element of your Pathway to Impact. Engaging the public with your research can improve the quality of research and its impact, raise your profile, and develop your skills. It also enables members of the public to act as informed citizens and can inspire the next generation of researchers."
We can help members of the IRC to organise and promote public events relating to their global food security research, for example talks, debates, hands-on activities and film screenings. If you have an idea, please contact the Programme Manager to discuss it.
