The event was attended by researchers carrying our Public Engagement activities from across the region. SEPnet Director of Outreach, Dr Dominic Galliano encouraged those present to go big and bold with their future ideas and projects, highlighting the importance of encouraging and helping those who have less experience in public engagement.

Professor Sir Bill Wakeham, chair of SEPnet, awarded the individual winners with their prize certificates. The winners then gave a short speech highlighting the importance of doing public engagement. Each winner also received a £100 cash prize.
