Is this course right for me?

Target Audience: All staff involved in research or KE, (including research-/KE-enabling staff), with an interest in engaging with external stakeholders.

This is a live online event and will run again.

This session is a one-off live virtual workshop. There is an option to then attend an in-person follow-on/advanced session, but it is not a prerequisite to have attended this online session. 

This two-part series of interactive workshops will help attendees develop an understanding of stakeholder engagement.

This first workshop is an introductory session and will introduce the concept of stakeholder engagement. Through this course you will have the opportunity to consider who might be a potential stakeholder for your research, and how you may begin to engage with them. 

Course Outcomes/Objectives;

Through this short, online introductory workshop you will:

• Explore the potential wider impacts of your research project.
• Consider the range of stakeholders your research may be relevant to.
• Discuss approaches to prioritizing stakeholders.
• Identify opportunities to develop your network.
• Reflect on how to work with stakeholders over time, including pitfalls to avoid and adjustments to make at the start which could save time by the end of the project.

This online session can be followed up by attending a “Creating a Stakeholder Engagement Strategy” in-person workshop which will focus on helping attendees to put together an engagement strategy and plan. Creating a Stakeholder Engagement Strategy
