The Beacons for Public Engagement
http://www.publicengagement.ac.uk
The Beacons for Public Engagement project is one of the biggest initiative ever launched to support public engagement throughout the UK. Funded by the UK higher education funding councils and Research Councils UK (RCUK), and supported by the Wellcome Trust, it has a simple goal: achieving a more joined up and strategic approach to public engagement.
The six beacons - collaborative centres made up of a number of higher education institutions and their partners - will be at the forefront of efforts to change the culture in universities, assisting staff and students to engage with the public. Their partners include further education colleges, museums, galleries, businesses, charities, TV and press, and public bodies. The National Co-ordinating Centre for Public Engagement will provide leadership and will work with the beacons, funders, policy-makers, and the whole HE sector to make engaging with the public a key part of what it is to be an academic.

"Universities have been founded principally on two sets of activities: teaching and research. However, universities have always made contributions, both directly and indirectly, to decision-making in the wider society; this is their 'Third Mission'. Third stream activities are therefore concerned with the generation, use, application and exploitation of knowledge and other university capabilities outside academic environments. In other words, the Third Stream is about the interactions between universities and the rest of society."
"[E]mphasis on the value of universities to economic performance is reflected in many policy and academic debates, focusing on university commercial activities. /…/ Yet there is much more to the relationship between universities and the rest of society than merely commercial activities. Universities make contributions to government and civil society as well as the private sector, assisting not only with economic performance but also helping to improve quality of life and the effectiveness of public services. Any approach to university Third Stream activities that focuses purely on university commercial activities is likely to miss large and important parts of the picture. Universities perform a wide range of roles, responsibilities and activities. The cut across different economic, political and social networks. The report argues that the measuring of their Third Stream activities needs a holistic approach that examines the main channels that bind universities to the rest of society."
