Oxford Brookes Helps Train Future Science Leaders
Oxford Brookes partners with leading institutions to train the next generation of researchers addressing global challenges in life and environmental sciences.
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 have links to Science Oxford, the local branch of the British Science Association and other Oxfordshire science organisations and institutes, and work together on a number of public engagement projects. As such we strongly support the annual Oxfordshire Science Festival and run a stall at the 'Science in Your World' event in Oxford City Centre.
