Engaged ANU was a 12-month pilot project (May 2022 – July 2023). It was part of the broader ANU ambition to be a resource of national significance, to deepen relationships with the public and deliver public value, and to support ANU academics achieve world-class research engagement. The focus was on “engaged communication” – communication about research that invites public input and interaction, using creative and cultural methodologies or data visualisation.
Summer scholars and student interns were invited to work with the Creative Team to contribute to the project. They developed creative projects, public engagement and research projects that support the visibility, engagement and reach of ANU research.
