People are at the heart of everything that we do. That is why this is 100 Faces, and why we in the Faculty of Science actively collaborate, engage and connect with people beyond the Faculty. We are part of our communities. We aim to engage widely and inclusively across Durham, the wider county and region, nationally and internationally.   

To us, the staff and students within the Science Faculty, Science Engagement is broad, inclusive and mutually beneficial; it describes the multiple ways that we connect, listen to, share and involve people with our work locally, regionally, nationally and internationally. Science Engagement is about us interacting and authentically collaborating with people in community groups, schools, businesses, creative organisations, industries, charities, and government, and even others within and outside of the Science Faculty at Durham University. We believe that through such experiences, we can meaningfully contribute to society, helping to build skills, capabilities and participation.  

Science Engagement at Durham is not an add-on or after-thought but is an integral part of research, education, and the broader student and staff experience. It is part of who we are. Here are some of our stories.
