Leicester Law School Festival of Public Engagement and Knowledge Exchange for Research

Leicester Law School is delighted to host the Festival of Public Engagement and Knowledge Exchange for Research offering a public platform for academics, students, community organisations, industry leaders, policy makers and civic partners to connect, share and discover the power of research in action.

This three-day festival from Wednesday, 3 December to Friday, 5 December 2025, is designed to foster dialogue and community around how research can transcend beyond academia through meaningful public engagement and well-founded knowledge exchange. The festival will feature a series of events including a Public Lecture, Keynote Workshops, a Panel Discussion and networking sessions.

The festival will open the doors of the Law School’s impactful interdisciplinary research to the wider public and offer the opportunity to discover how cutting-edge legal research and education shapes public policy and contributes towards delivering justice and legal analysis.

The festival will provide new opportunities for existing partners to strengthen ongoing collaborations and for potential partners to build new links with researchers at Leicester Law School.

We gratefully acknowledge funding support from the Economic Social Research Council Impact Acceleration Account (ESRC IAA), College of Social Sciences Arts and Humanities (CSSAH) and the Leicester Law School.
