		* HH: Cancer Vanguard (Marsden, UCL and Christie) can help with engagement. HH to find contact.

			* AK: can include some of these points in the first podcasts.
			* CW: The scope for LhARA is very big. Need to ensure we get a consistent message across.
		* GJ: Maggies have groups that focus on a particular type of cancer. Should try to align with this.

	* AK: Is the deadline 1st July?
		* CP: Will check the date. There is an information session at 2pm today.
	* CP: Need to align the application with the Limitless campaign.
		* AK: Need to have a plan how to engage with diverse audiences.
		* CP: This can be done by choosing who to interview and the audiences.
		* KG: CRUK has diverse audience lists and we can tap into those audiences.
		* HH: Another resource is the CRUK newsletter that can be used.
		* GJ: IOP have had strong priorities to reach out to diverse audiences and have a broad definition of this.
		* CP: Can access audiences not necessarily interested in physics to show how physics can be useful.
	* CP: The key questions are in a Google doc and this can be shared once a full draft is ready.
* Societal Engagement.
	* AK has looked at the application form.  This can be used to put together a set of key points on what LhARA will achieve, how it will do this and when.
	* KG: Add to the application that the application is made with the assistance of patients and the public.
	* CW: Need to feed this back to the collaboration as it may impact the focus of the research.
	* HH: Need to bear in mind the NHIR guidelines for paying for public involvement.
* Journaling.
	* AK made contact with an academic who runs journaling workshops. This could be developed into an engagement activity.
	* HH: Only certain people would go for this and this would exclude large numbers of people.
	  * AK: Only so much can be done to mitigate this.
	* GJ: Maggies Centres already do something similar and they should be the focus of this kind of activity.

== Actions ==
* HH to circulate contact for Cancer Vanguard.
* CP to circulate first draft of IoP application.
