DESCRIPTION:As scientists\, we are not only expected to do excellent resea
 rch\; we are also expected to have an impact on society. One way to have s
 uch an impact is through public engagement. However\, the effectiveness of
  these activities is often not measured and the methods underpinning the a
 ctivities are rarely evidence-based.\n\nIn this lecture\, Erik van Sebille
 \, Professor in Oceanography and Public Engagement at Utrecht University\,
  will give an overview of what is known (and unknown) about the effectiven
 ess of public engagement by academics. He will particularly focus on advoc
 acy and activism\, and discuss to what extent\, when and how (climate) sci
 entists can be activistic in the public domain.\n\nComplete this "registra
