Public Engagement
CBR sponsors several initiatives of Public Engagement (PE) with science and health themes/projects.
Using different outlets and events, and by means of intentional, meaningful interactions, CBR seeks to provide opportunities for public engagement and mutual learning between CBR, Católica Medical School (FM-UCP) and Hospital da Luz researchers and clinical practicioners and members of the public.
By mutual learning we refer both not only to the acquisition of knowledge but also to increased familiarity with a breadth of perspectives, frames, and views on science, technology and health, and increased understanding of different audiences´ shortfalls, needs or aspirations in terms of science and health literacy.
PE initiatives led by the CBR also aim to bring about increased awareness of the cultural relevance of science, recognition of the importance of multiple perspectives and domains of knowledge to scientific endeavors, increased engagement, and empowerment, namely in one´s health.
