Date: Friday 18th September 2020
Time: 1.30pm - 3.40pm (approx, including a 20 minute break)
Location: Online (Zoom)

Following a series of conversations in the morning (open to the public: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/engagement-as-material-symposia-tickets-112230426226), we are inviting applications to join an invitation only online round table discussion.

Attendees will discuss the question 'What are the opportunities and benefits of actively engaging audiences/communities, to embed agency for long-term mutual benefit, sustainability and impact?', led by facilitators from the Royal College of Art, and the expert speakers from the morning session (Professor Miles Richardson, Andy Merritt, Paul Smyth, Josie Tucker, Richard Ashton, and Dr Sarah West).

We hope these discussions will not only encourage networking and lead to deeper insights, but also generate content for a journal publication in 2021.

We encourage anyone interested in this topic to apply. We are asking for applications as we will need to cap numbers to ensure active participation and the opportunity for everyone to contribute.


Please submit your application by 5pm Tuesday 1st September 2020.
Successful applicants will be contacted the week commencing 7th September.

Please contact Dr Rob Phillips if you have any questions about this event - robert.phillips@rca.ac.uk
