Public engagement

The Institute’s public engagement activities are designed to capture the imagination, highlight the relevance of physics to our lives and make physics accessible to all.

To reach as wide an audience as possible we are committed to supporting physicists who want to engage with their local communities. 

Whatever the activity – hands-on workshops, interactive talks, debates, discussions, websites or performances – we can provide information, resources and advice to help you share your passion for physics with public audiences.
