As part of the Institute for Policy and Engagement’s “Nottingham Digitally Engaged 2020” fortnight, this workshop will explore the “New Normal” and what this has meant for researchers and public engagement.

Lock down did not lead to the end of public engagement and outreach activity, it led to a period of invention and adaptation. This session will explore how to continue or even establish conversations online, while sharing recent case studies from UoN researchers.

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.
