We are committed to science communication and public engagement locally, regionally and on a national and international scale.
Our scientists hold public lectures and speak at informal venues (Oxford SciBar and Cafe Scientifiques) and unusual places such as on a soapbox at the London riverside or at science comedy nights in pubs.
We organise hands-on workshops and Sixth Form conferences for school students to give them a taste of university life. Our researchers regularly give science and career talks at local schools and have mentored research projects of school students towards a CREST Award. A team of PhD students and staff run 'CSI Oxfordshire', a free loan kit scheme that enables schools to use real scientific equipment in their classes.
