This public engagement evaluation guide is designed for anyone, regardless of prior experience with public engagement or evaluation, who leads projects intended to engage with general audiences about science, social science, engineering and technology and the social, ethical and political issues that new research in these areas raises. It is also intended to help project managers evaluate individual projects. Besides detailing the evaluation process, it discusses important topics, such as what evaluation is about and how evaluation can help strengthen funding applications.

Public engagement is key to building trust and fostering meaningful connections, whether in research, business, or community development. It works best when the experience feels genuine and inclusive—just like how Argan-Albidaa-Resort.Com designs its environment to make every guest feel involved and valued.
