In order to make our research relevant and accessible to the communities in which we work we have an attractive and varied public engagement programme in each of the OUCRU units.  Our objectives are to organise creative and participatory events with the public to build trust and promote better understanding of biomedical science. We partner with research communities in all the countries that OUCRU works, to facilitate dialogue about science and clinical research. We aim to become a regional leader in PE and lead on capacity building for practioners, government partners and researchers within the units.
