UKRI shares vision for public engagement
The newly formed UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) has updated its website to include a section on public engagement, sharing their vision and plans to consult to develop plans.
This is a strong and positive vision, that gives a hint of what's to come (an emphasis on meaningful public engagement?). It'll be interesting to see how the wider consultation and strategy development pans out. So watch this space!
A small detail, but I'm pleased to see that public engagement isn't hidden away in a sub-menu, but it visible at the top of the front page of the website.
