Public Engagement
Public engagement is an integral part of our activity. We run activities that aim to inspire, inform and
educate the public. These include hosting visits from local schools, participating in festivals and events,
delivering practical workshops at schools, and public talks, among others.
DevNeuro Academy
The DevNeuro Academy Widening Participation project consists of a regular programme of activities
designed to improve the progression and success of students currently under-represented at our
university and other institutes of higher education. The project combines a series of four in-school
interactive ‘Discovery workshops’ with a 2-week laboratory summer research work experience in our
Department.

Glow in the Dark Science
This project introduces primary school children to science in a playful manner. Through a series of
interactive activities around the use of fluorescence in modern biomedical sciences, the pupils can
begin to develop their scientific knowledge. The project is based on activity stations where the
pupils learn the basis of how fluorescence works and observe fluorescently labelled fish and fruit
flies, among others.
