Congratulations to Ronan McNeill, Mayra Albayrak, Oana Puicar, Lara Biller, and Rob Seymour who have been selected as this year’s OxCIN Engagement Ambassadors!
Engaging with public, patient, and policy audiences is a vital component of academic research. It not only lets us inform and inspire the many audiences who are major stakeholders in our research, but it can also help to shape us as researchers and shape the research that we do. To foster a culture in which engagement can thrive, we set up the Engagement Ambassadors Scheme in 2017. Each year, our ambassadors receive formal training in public, patient, and policy engagement and are given lots of opportunity to hone their engagement skills throughout the year.
