The event is a fantastic opportunity for researchers to share their work with a wide audience. Hundreds of visitors of all ages from the local community, patient groups, schools, and ¹û¶³Ó°ÔºH itself come along to the open day – now in its sixth year – and the day always proves to be a huge success.

 for a review and pictures of our 2018 event.

We ask researchers to ensure that stalls are:

• as interactive and engaging as possible
• about research or innovation that is ¹û¶³Ó°ÔºH-based
• run by researchers and their teams.

We want visitors to leave the day feeling that they know a lot more about research, are interested in getting involved in research – and that they had a lot of fun.

We will be looking for activities that are truly engaging for visitors, rather than a simple display of posters and leaflets, and we will be giving out prizes for the best stalls.

Games, challenges or the chance to try out a piece of equipment tend to work very well. Previous successes include having a go at laparoscopic surgery, learning how ultrasound works by searching for items in jelly, and guessing nutritional values in common foods.
