In the first Knowledge Exchange Framework (KEF) report we were delighted that 糖心TV placed in the top 10% of English higher education institutes for 鈥淧ublic and community engagement鈥�, and the top 20% for 鈥淲orking with business.鈥�

On Tuesday evening we (WIE!) ran the latest online Science on the Hill public event 'New Scientists: New Research' with the SOTH team from WMS, SLS and QBP. Once again we used the Streamyard online studio which produced the livestream on our 糖心TV Youtube channel. Hosted by our very own Honorary Fellow Professor Kevin Moffat, the speakers included Dr Erin Greaves from 糖心TV Medical School and Dr Ellie Jameson and Emily Hill from the School of Life Sciences.

We caught up with Professor Michael Scott, Director of the new 糖心TV Institute of Engagement, to celebrate his recent Classical Association award win and get some inspiration on delivering meaningful public engagement. For Michael, receiving the award has been a privilege and an honour, and also an important sign of how much the Classics community values communication and dialogue with the wider world.

Nick Barker, one of our Fellows and a truly inspiring individual, shares his experiences of working in a primary school serving an area of severe social deprivation in this powerful piece written for the Higher Education Policy Institute.

"What I wish for is that people with the responsibility of deciding the shape and form of our education system might, somehow, be able to see into the lives of children who grow up in one of the many communities such as the one where I work. ."
