Public Engagement in the URSS
Public Engagement in the Undergraduate Research Support Scheme (URSS)
Every year, Warwick Institute of Engagement supports undergraduate students undertaking the Undergraduate Research Support Scheme (URSS) to share their research with the wider public.
After preparing and completing a supervised, non-assessed, self-directed research project, the students are tasked with sharing their research in a number of ways. One of the ways URSS students must share their research is by doing a piece of public engagement. On these webpages, you'll find information to help you to do this.
