Public Engagement takes many different shapes. The Brain Research Imaging Centre staff and students present their work through lectures, presentations and posters to meetings and conferences both in the United Kingdom and abroad. This gives BRIC the opportunity for researchers to convey their work to other academics.

BRIC staff and students also take part in activities from public lectures to workshops organised by BRIC, Edinburgh Neurosciences and the Scottish Imaging Network a Platform for Scientific Excellence (SINAPSE).
