ABSTRACT: Quali aspetti si trova ad affrontare un'istituzione che fa ricerca e che vuole sviluppare attività di public engagement?
Dopo aver ricostruito il panorama europeo nel campo del public engagement dedicato a scienza e tecnologia, si illustrano alcuni casi di studio e i risultati delle osservazioni condotte nel corso del progetto SHARPER per la Notte Europea dei Ricercatori. Sulla base di questi elementi si presenterà un possibile approccio al public engagement per le università e i centri di ricerca.
