PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT

Our public engagement programme helps visitors connect with Earth and environmental sciences in fun, memorable and exciting ways.

Through our engagement programmes, Science Showcases and Meet the Scientist events, we’re able to provide opportunities to help our audiences understand the ways our planet works – and show where an interest or career in science could take them.
