I was delighted to be approached by the University of Strathclyde to train researchers in best practice planning and delivery of public-facing events and activities. The training was delivered in the context of the Economic and Social Research Council Impact Acceleration Account (ESRC IAA) funding, the purpose of which is to turn social science research into real-world benefits. The training, involving lively discussion and contributions from the attendees, focussed on audience-centred research, planning and delivery to ensure that the provision was relevant and resonant for the participants.
