Community Engagement
Community Engagement
At University of Galway, we believe that the best learning takes place when you apply what you learn in a real world context. That's why many of our courses include work placements or community projects.
Accessibility & LanguagePublic Engagement
Engaging with members of the public and key stakeholders can be a crucial part of research activity. From the earliest stages of your research planning and throughout your project, being engaged with others can help shape and inform your research. Here we signpost you to further information on public engagement, engaged research, patient public involvement and industry engagement.
(We will be launching a SharePoint site dedicated to this topic soon).
Our university has a long history of public engagement, bringing our research to communities and groups - and in turn learning and growing from those interactions. Engaged research and meaningful stakeholder enagement is a fundamental tenet of research impact (visit the Research Impact Toolkit for more on this).
The university puts a strong emphasis on community engagement
Industry Engagement
The Innovation Office is a great port of call for any queries on engaging with industry, whether that is a research collaboration or consultancy. Visit the sharepoint site for more.
Public Patient Involvement
Funded by the Health Research Board, the PPI Ignite @ University of Galway team works with researchers and the public and patients to ensure that the voice of the patient shapes and influences our health and social care research, enhancing the quality, relevance and impact of the research. There are many different ways in which the public, patients and patient/community organisations can partner with researchers, embedding PPI across research studies. Visit https://www.universityofgalway.ie/ppi/.
Policymakers
Working with policymakers to inform and help shape policy is a pathway to impact. Find out more about tools available to you such as Overton which can help you track and map where your research is mentioned in policy documents and grey literature.
Public engagement
More widely, there are a number of projects - see below - which the university champions. From science fairs to our own Threesis, from climate change artists to primary school video competitions. See more below.
