It's not just the AEngD which is focused on the need to improve public understanding of STEM subjects through communication (through, for example, our Engineering Research Writer of the Year competition, and local initiatives by industrial doctorate centres such as the Systems Centre).
The Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR) recently announced that the 2013 winner of the CIPR President’s Medal will be decided by CIPR member nominations for an individual who has made an outstanding contribution to the public understanding of science through effective communication.
This initiative, led by current CIPR President Sue Wolstenholme, intends to highlight the contribution of a non-professional communicator in the fields of medicine, mathematics, technology and engineering. If you would like to suggest a nomination, it may be worth seeking out a CIPR member (many university PR departments and in-house communications team include CIPR members), but do it soon; the deadline is 22 November.
