Outreach

[n] - an organization’s involvement with the community

On these pages you can find out more about the IGC's commitment to promoting dialogue ([n] - discussion directed towards exploration of a subject or resolution of a problem) between scientists and society. Follow the links below to find out what we have been up to, both inside the Institute (our Open Days) and beyond (Researchers' Night, music festivals, on the web). We are always looking for new ways of engaging people and groups of all ages, interests and backgrounds in our research and in science in general.
