Established in 2013 and run by the Public Engagement Unit, the Vice-Chancellor’s Engage Awards aims to celebrate the achievements of colleagues from across the University of Bath working to involve and engage people with their research.
Vice-Chancellor's Engage Awards
Four award categories currently make up the Vice-Chancellor’s Engage Awards:
Informing - activities that share and tell people about your research.
Involving - activities where people have meaningful roles in your research.
Collaborating - activities where people are equal partners with you in your research.
Local and Civic Engagement - for work, teams and individuals that have made outstanding civic contributions on behalf of the University through engaging with local civil society organisations, community groups, residents and charities.
Public Engagement Showcase
As well as the Vice-Chancellor's Engage Awards we also want to celebrate the diversity of public engagement activities that are happening across the University of Bath. During the Vice-Chancellor's Engage Awards ceremony we host the Public Engagement Showcase, where researchers can share their public engagement work through posters and demonstrations of activities with invited guests, external partners and colleagues attending the ceremony. The Showcase is free to attend for everyone across the University.
Nomination process
The Vice-Chancellor’s Engage Awards are run biennially, and the 2025 edition is now open for nominations.
We invite self-nomination to the categories of the Awards. Full details of the process are outlined in the Vice-Chancellor's Engage Awards 2025 nomination guide.
