Update on PEARL Survey

Thank you to those who completed the PEARL – Public Engagement with Research survey over the last couple of weeks.

Public Engagement with Research for All at Lincoln (PEARL), is a new RCUK-funded project which will be investigating how the University can improve its public engagement with research. Providing platforms for the public to engage with the University’s research activities is instrumental in ensuring society is aware of and benefitting from research, ultimately boosting public support for universities.

The results of this initial survey provide the data required to grasp an understanding of how staff and students of the University feel about, view and are aware of public engagement.

A second, more in-depth survey about Public Engagement with Research (PER) at Lincoln will be created using the results of the first. We can then look to provide new resources and initiatives for PER at Lincoln, such as training and platforms for communication.

Thank you to those who responded affirming that they would be happy to complete a second survey – we will be in touch very soon regarding this.  

If you would like any more details about the project, please email pearl@lincoln.ac.uk

With many thanks for your help,
