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 in-person event, and will run again.

This is an in-person workshop. There is an option to attend an online introduction to stakeholder engagement session, but this is not a prerequisite to attending this session.

“An Introduction to Stakeholder Engagement” Introduction to Stakeholder Engagement is an online workshop that is designed to provide the basics for stakeholder engagement, and the contents of that workshop will be built upon in this in-person workshop. It is not a requirement to attend the introductory session in order to attend this event. 

This practical workshop will focus on putting together an engagement strategy and plan. Participants should come to the workshop with a sense of the stakeholders they would ideally like to engage, the timeframes they are working within and the resources they have access to. Participants will explore the elements to include in their strategy and leave the session with a clear plan to make progress on their projects.
