The University of Lincoln recently won national grant funding from RCUK to enhance the support it provides for public engagement in research.
Engaging with members of the public is a vital part of a university’s activity as it makes research more relevant to more people, increases the ways in which society can benefit from research and boosts public support for universities.

The University of Lincoln project is called PEARL (Public Engagement for All with Research at Lincoln). One of the first steps of PEARL is to find out what staff and students think about the University’s current provision for public engagement with research.
To do this, we would like to invite all University staff and students to complete a quick survey. This survey is hosted on SurveyMonkey and should take only about eight minutes of your time. Please go to https://www.research.net/r/56HXH9L to complete the survey before it closes on Tuesday 31st October. Your responses will be completely anonymous and very much appreciated.
