Do you want to get a taste of what science is like at university? Expand or test your own knowledge? Do you want to do an experiment, or do you have a question for one of our researchers?

Here is an overview of the annual and biennial workshops, classes, lab sessions, interactive themed days, contests and so on which are organised on the university's campuses or on location. One-off activities are listed in the calendar.
