Outreach

MUSE is very, VERY active and always keen to showcase what we do to the public & other relevant stakeholders. We always do a fair amount of outreach activities, presenting our work, representing UCL and our department and the Women's Engineering Society.  And we are AWESOME and get always invited to do more.

Selected outreach events below (we just do too many to keep up!):
