Interact Symposia
The first Interact Symposium was held in 2017, organised by STFC, IOP and SEPnet, and has been held every couple of years since then, with The Ogden Trust and RAS joining the partnership in 2019. The symposia have always been co-created with the physical sciences’ public engagement community.
In this section you can find details and documentation from past symposia. From 2017 to 2022 each Interact Symposium has two evaluation reports, a Phase I report which covers the event itself and the immediate outputs and outcomes of those attending, and a Phase II report which looks at outcomes and impacts a year later.

“A key priority for Interact is to support and enable the physical sciences community to carry out impactful research linked engagement with audiences otherwise not provided with opportunities to access the sciences.”
