Evaluation of Interact 2019

The Interact public engagement symposium took place in September 2019 at the University of Central Lancashire. It was attended by over 200 delegates.

The key aim of Interact was to further cultivate a community of engagement practitioners within the physical sciences who develop high quality STEM engagement and support a culture of strategic and reflective practice.

Read the Interact 2019 evaluation report.

Building on the outcomes of the 2017 Interact symposium and its evaluation report, the 2019 report:

  • highlights what worked well
  • draws out on lessons learned
  • makes further recommendations to assist anyone who may wish to plan for a similar event.

The report also:

  • showcases the rich landscape for outreach and public engagement that currently exists in the physical sciences across the UK
  • highlights opportunities for its continued development and how we can best support it in future
