Public Engagement
Every year, our staff and students typically interact directly with almost 20,000 members of the public of all ages, through various events including public talks, science festivals and family events. We cover many aspects of astrophysics and solar system science, missions, careers, and space history and aim to show the diversity of people and activities that make up our community.
Public Talks
Members of our department give talks that enable audiences to engage with the very latest space science and engineering.
Art Collaborations
We view space science and engineering as part of our wider culture and have collaborated with many artists over the years to co-create art-science activities.
Exhibitions
Leading and being part of exhibitions enables our scientists and engineers to directly engage with thousands of member of the general public, school students and teachers, and family audiences.
Written Articles
Our articles have appeared in print media such as the BBC’s Sky at Night Magazine, Astronomy Now and Wired, as well as appearing as online articles in, for example, The Conversation.
