Description
Diamond Light Source hosts a large and growing public engagement programme, welcoming over 5,000 visitors from the public and education each year. In order to continue to innovate and reach new audiences, we have formed strategic partnerships to deliver strong and successful events in education to key audiences.
This session will profile three key partnership events – our Science in Your Future event, aimed at encouraging girls to consider further study in physical science subjects, Engineering Your Future, which promotes a range of Engineering disciplines, both delivered with STFC, and our A-level Biology day, delivered in partnership with the Research Complex at Harwell, and the Membrane Protein Laboratory (Imperial College London).
We propose to invite scientists from our partner organisations to contribute to the session to discuss their view on what makes a successful partnership.
We will discuss the benefits and risks of such partnership events, and will share our key lessons learned from these programmes.
