Engagement

We inform the public about cutting edge scientific research, provide resources for teachers and inspire young people to develop an interest in science.

Public engagement is of key importance and we run many successful and substantial outreach programmes, coordinated by the School’s Head of Public Engagement, Dr Chris North.

'Outreach' refers to the efforts by scientists to reach out to the general public, to share the revelations of cutting-edge research, provide valuable educational materials for teachers, and to inspire the young scientists of tomorrow.
