Public meetings

Discussing your research with others in different settings can take conversations in interesting and new directions. There are a range of opportunities for discussion, debate and informal engagement with people about your work, how you do it and its place in the world.

Getting involved

Have a look what is happening locally. Does your local museum, science centre or cultural venue have opportunities to talk or participate in fora? Are there local community or special interest groups who’d be interested in discussing your work? We can help you identify and access opportunities, so get in touch.

Cafe Scientifiques are a forum for debating scientific issues and are typically held in small venues such as a café or bar. They are informal and accessible to the general public, and take place throughout the UK. Find out more about a café in your area.

Training and support

Narratives are vital in engaging audiences with your work. Sign up for our Narrative Skills workshops to learn how you can captivate audiences with stories about your research.
