REACH will bring together engineers from academia and industry with public engagement specialists to create a platform that will promote a culture of public engagement within the biomedical engineering community.
The project will inspire bioengineers across different disciplines such as cardiovascular engineering, sensors, robotics, artificial intelligence, imaging/image-processing and 3D printing to embrace public engagement, co-creation and creative interdisciplinary collaborations as part of their work.
REACH will also enable outreach activities and promotion of the diverse and multifaceted nature of bioengineering, particularly targeting students in schools and universities as well as engineering graduates who have drifted away from the field or who want to apply their engineering skills to advancing healthcare and wellbeing.
