'Public engagement describes the myriad of ways in which the activity and benefits of higher education and research can be shared with the public. Engagement is by definition a two-way process, involving interaction and listening, with the goal of generating mutual benefit.'

As a signatory to the National Coordinating Centre's?Manifesto for Public Engagement, the University uses this?definition of engagement to?frame the ways that we inform, consult and collaborate with the public.
