NERC: our public engagement

The Natural Environment Research Council makes environmental science accessible and relevant to a wide range of people, while bringing opinions from across society into the way we do research.

Through tools such as public dialogues, research co-design and museum partnerships, we seek to inspire science audiences and be inspired by them in turn.

How we engage people

From inspiring the next generation of researchers to helping environmental scientists engage at each stage of a grant.

Our engagement projects

Activities including green careers days, co-design of flooding research and a museum exhibition on the climate crisis.

Our public dialogues

Discussions on environmental science topics such as combating solar radiation and NERC's own 10-year research plan.
