Public engagement
In this video, Kiran talks about the importance of public engagement, in the context of a survey we commissioned into our work in this area.
"As a university for public good, York recognises and values the importance of public engagement. It's what we do, and what we stand for.
"It's a broad spectrum of activity - sharing our expertise, engaging the community and involving the public to co-produce research."
