Beacons for Public Engagement
Initiative - Online survey of UK higher education staff, and
researchers
Deadline extended to 9 April 2010
The Beacons for Public Engagement (BPE) initiative was launched by the UK Higher Education Funding Councils, Research Councils UK and the Wellcome Trust in January 2008.
Oakleigh Consulting Limited are evaluating the Beacons for Public Engagement (BPE) initiative on behalf of the funders.
An online survey was completed in 2008 forming part of the baseline assessment for the evaluation. A similar survey is now available to allow them to identify any changes in perceptions relating to public engagement.
This survey is for all staff working in:
· UK higher education institutions.
· UK research institutes or centres.
They are interested in the views of staff within both BPE institutions and those who are not in BPE institutions because they want to see what is happening across the sector, so please complete the survey wherever you work.
To access the online questionnaire, please use the following link: http://www.oakleighsurveys.co.uk/bpe2010/
If you have any queries regarding the completion of the e-survey, please contact Zeb Nash at Oakleigh zebnash@oakleigh.co.uk
