Gold Engage Watermark for Public Engagement

The Engage Watermark is an award granted by the National Co-ordinating Centre for Public Engagement (NCCPE) to higher education institutions to recognise their strategic support for public engagement and their commitment to improve the support offered. Just as a watermark runs through the fabric of a document, an Engage Watermark indicates that engagement runs through the fabric of an institution.

The Centre has been awarded a Gold Engage Watermark for Public Engagement by the National Co-ordinating Centre for Public Engagement (NCCPE). LRCFS’s work has seen forensic science and legal practitioners as well as citizens play an active role in helping to improve the use and understanding of science in the justice system.

Engage Watermarks are given to higher education institutions in recognition of their strategic support for public engagement. The Gold award, presented to members of the Dundee team at the NCCPE Engage Conference in Bristol on Wednesday 4 December, follows an assessment of staff and partners that recognised a vibrant, innovative, energetic and focused approach to public engagement.
