University of Dundee, School of Life Sciences, Annual Report 2022: Public Engagement

2022 was a transitional year – we were not out of the coronavirus pandemic entirely, but restrictions did begin to lift, allowing us to shift back into more familiar ways of working. We were keen not to lose the learning and good practice of previous years, however and tried to continue working flexibly with our different audiences. Reflecting on the conversations about equity and inclusivity in the wider public engagement sphere, we spent time focusing on what that meant for our practice and creating resources that will be used to support our staff and students in the future. We also began conversations about working sustainably, both financially and environmentally, and how to best prepare for changes in priorities driven by internal and external factors ahead.
