Both involvement and engagement activity generates dialogue and trust between research and society, ensuring the results of our work reach out beyond the usual environments of academia, business and government.

It inspires the next generation of talent and broadens and informs public attitude, enhances the quality, relevance and impact of the research we do and contributes to the future economy and well-being of society.
