Outreach

As well as providing a centre for anatomical education and research at Cardiff University, we are passionate about encouraging the next generation. We are dedicated to promoting science and science education globally.

Our national outreach programmes include science engagement events in secondary schools which inform students of the important contributions made by anatomical sciences to the fields of medicine and human biology.

As part of our international outreach programme, the Wales Centre for Anatomical Education has educational links and collaborations with universities in Spain, Italy and Hong Kong.
