In 2018, we, the School of Life Sciences Public Engagement team, worked with Evaluation Support Scotland to create an evaluation strategy aligned to our then recently developed Public Engagement with Research Strategy. The result was ‘OurEvaluation Story’ - an evaluation framework .Over the past 5 years, we used the framework to evaluate public engagement work. Starting in 2018, we produced an annual report to look in detail at what we were doing and if it helped the School of Life Sciences community achieve our ‘indicators of success’. Five years on, we have a strong collection of evidence to show how we have achieved some of our aims and objectives and where more work is needed.We revisited the evaluation strategy, with three key questions in mind:• What changes need to be made following its use and review?• Do the outcomes reflect the revised Public Engagement with Research and Scholarship Strategy?• Is the evaluation strategy the best it can be to help measure the impact of the Public Engagement with Research and Scholarship Strategy?This document contains our new evaluation framework and recording forms
