As part of the Institute for Policy and Engagement’s “Nottingham Digitally Engaged 2020” fortnight, and building on the university strategy’s commitment to sustainability, this session will look at policy and public priorities in this space.

This session will invite external speakers and internal colleagues to discuss and debate how research strategy and goals match up and best align with external ones.

Nottingham Digitally Engaged 2020

The Institute for Policy and Engagement presents a fortnight of online events designed to explore recent developments in both policy and public engagement. In a world increasingly connected through digital means this online version of the annual Nottingham Engaged Conference brings together a mix of internal and external expertise. Join us to discover new approaches, share your experiences, participate in debates and ensure you are aware of the factors impacting these fields. Topics to be included build on our past programmes and are delivered in the context of the UK’s departure from the EU, the global pandemic and a new age for digital engagement.
