- Co-creation with researchers and stakeholders (including PPI – Public and Patient Involvement)
- Design and implementation of engagement activities with schools and young people
- Strengthening societal impact and uptake of results
- Stakeholder and community engagement, including hard-to-reach groups

Our focus is on bringing societal perspectives into research and innovation processes through dialogue and co-creation, both in EU projects and national collaborations.
Public engagement events and dialogue activities
We have over 20 years of experience in organising conferences, seminars and dialogue-based events. We also provide experienced moderators who can facilitate discussions for organisations, networks and projects.
We can also help develop and run roundtable discussions or other dialogue activities on specific themes or in local settings, drawing on formats developed through initiatives such as our Folk och Forskning (Science & Society) forum.
Process management, facilitation and assistance with workshops and courses
Public & Science Sweden is regularly invited to give presentations, design and facilitate workshops, and lead discussions on science communication and dialogue between science and society. This is also an important part of the work of our Resource Centre for Science Communication.
Examples of topics include:
- Public trust in science and Swedes’ attitudes to towards science and research
- Science communication
- Researchers’ views on communication
- Citizen Science
- Public engagement as part of Open Science
- Co-creation in research
