PE & C Committee - 2021
Public Engagement & Communications from the Centre are mainly delivered through a committee structure, which allows staff and students to work collaboratively, share experience, celebrate their achievements and discuss strategy. As we move towards more collaborative working across the Institute for Regeneration and Repair (IRR), membership of the committees has changed to reflect this. Current PE&C Committee and Subcommittee members are recorded here.
