The project was led by Professor Tim Blackman, who has now left the Open University to become Vice-Chancellor at Middlesex University. Professor Richard Holliman (Faculty of Science) was the academic lead on the project, and a co-Investigator. As the Open University’s Champion for Public Engagement with Research (2012-2015), he worked closely with Professor Blackman to strategically oversee engagement opportunities across the university’s research community.
