THE TRANSLATION OF RESEARCH PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT Contributors: Ms Debra Railoun Mrs Sarah Bok Mrs Khalipha Ramahlape Research Translation Office Corporate & Public Affairs Directorate

RESEARCH TRANSLATION “Research makes no difference to health and quality of life unless it is translated into specific interventions such as: Policy, Practice, Products & Promotion, which can have an impact on the health and quality of life of the nation”.

ASPECTS OF RESEARCH TRANSLATION OFFICE Public Engagement: For research translation to benefit society, the levels of public engagement must be raised.

PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT Bridges the gap between science/scientists and society Accountable at all levels (public, government & funders) Creates effective science communication Demystifies science among the literate and economically active Creates a platform to engage the interest of those less privileged Exposes school learners to career opportunities in Science and Technology and Health

SCHOOL ENGAGEMENT INITIATIVES Khanyagula Science Expo National Science Week Grahamstown SciFest Workshops for –EducatorsEducators –LearnersLearners Science Days at Schools Health Days National Youth Day

SCHOOL ENGAGEMENT Khanyagula Science Expo Held annually for township schools Serves the purpose of capacity development as learners are groomed to be competent enough to compete at regional and national level. Through this project, more learners from township schools are taking part in Science Expo All the proud gold medalists from the Khanyagula programme who were selected to represent the region at the national finals in Pretoria.
