“…This finding suggests that the gender differences in third mission engagement observed repeatedly (Perkmann et al 2013;Freel, Persaud, and Chamberlin 2019) have deeper roots than the mere opportunity to engage. It appears, instead, that there are systematic differences in the fundamental stance on the third mission and its implications (see also Püttmann, Ruhose, and Thomsen 2021). The overall heterogeneity observed could also be interpreted as a corroboration of the assumption that academics are actively involved in shaping their identities (see Henkel 2000;2012;Lam 2010;2011) and might even engage in this strategically in the form of a conscious project (Henkel 2004;2012).…”

“…In Germany, where this study is set, the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF, 2019) has emphasized not only the increasing importance of science communication in general but also the central role of researchers’ public engagement in a policy brief. Although there are studies and surveys on researchers’ general attitudes toward and motivations for science communication and public engagement (e.g., Besley, 2014; Besley et al, 2012; Püttmann et al, 2021; Royal Society, 2006; Valinciute, 2020; Vetenskap & Allmänhet, 2019; Ziegler et al, 2021), less have focused on researchers’ perceptions of their own involvement in science communication, public engagement, and outreach (e.g., Calice et al, 2022; Gantenberg, 2017; Koivumäki & Wilkinson, 2020). Even less studies have considered “the nature and extent of learning from and learning about public dialogue” (Chilvers, 2013, p. 258) for researchers.…”
