RCUK Concordat for Engaging the Public with Research<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\nCriteria for assessing excellence<\/strong><\/p>\nThese awards seek to recognise outstanding contributions which meet the needs of publics, user communities and other stakeholders by addressing the aims of the University\u2019s Research and Scholarship strategies. Such contributions need to demonstrate underpinning research excellence, assessed by quality of publications, external research funding, awards, other measures of esteem. (For postgraduate research student entries, a supervisor\u2019s letter of endorsement will be required to confirm satisfactory progress with research objectives.) These contributions can then be substantiated against one or more of the following:<\/p>\n
\n- The intention(s) should be clear, engaging publics, user communities and other stakeholders in meaningful ways.<\/li>\n
- Providing innovative public engagement with research opportunities to effect change or mutual benefit.<\/li>\n
- Contributing to positive change with respect to public engagement with research practice, policy or procedure.<\/li>\n
- Developing publics, user communities and other stakeholders engagement skills and competencies.<\/li>\n
- Illustrating an engagement in professional development activities.<\/li>\n
- Demonstrating quality and critical reflection through effective evaluation of the activities.<\/li>\n
- Engaging with and responding to the diverse needs of publics, user communities and other stakeholders.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
