Loughborough University are an internationally engaged research-intensive university that delivers meaningful impact and keeps students at our heart. Together, we use our distinctive strengths to support, inspire and empower people to achieve extraordinary things.
We are committed to providing opportunities for staff and
students to engage with the public through the range of activities we
undertake such as, festivals, public lectures, exhibitions, research projects,
volunteering for charitable causes and community engagement.
This training package is designed to assist individuals and groups from any job family, at any level, to develop their understanding of the different ways we can engage with different audiences and the public.
This self-directed online training package can be completed at any time, at your own pace. The modules can be taken whether you are actively involved in research, wish to learn about public engagement to support engagement activities, or simply wish to learn for your own curiosity and personal development.
The package consists of three modules:
1. Introduction to Public Engagement
2. Practical Skills for Public Engagement Events
3. Involving Publics in Research Projects
- Theme 1 ‘Doctoral supervision at Loughborough University’: Everyone
- Theme 2 ‘Recruitment and selection’: Katryna (seeking Doctoral College Registry input this week)
- Theme 3 ‘Thriving researcher culture and environment’: Laura, Alun De Winter, Victoria (NB: It might be worth reconnecting with content from ‘Fundamentals of PhD Supervision’, ‘Building Effective Supervisory Relationships’, and ‘Getting the Most Out of Doctoral Supervision’ before the meeting to see if any existing content can be repurposed.)
- Theme 4 ‘Mechanics of doctoral supervision’ Sarah B and Caroline – Your experiences as doctoral researchers and the DR sessions you led on will be really helpful for this theme.
- Theme 5 ‘Enhancing and development of practice’: Sammy and Sarah T – This theme is all about CDP, and it might be that the some of the PGCert content can be recontextualized with a doctoral supervisory lens.
