Showcasing our innovative research from across the sciences, join us for a full day of presentations and stimulating discussions with academics and prize-winning PhD students from the Faculty of Natural Sciences. Read more
We are organising guided tours of interesting science sites in Tuscany including the Leaning Tower of Pisa; the European Gravitational Observatory; European Laboratory for Non-Linear Spectroscopy, Florence University; Galileo Museum. Read more
In February 2018 we got the first glimpse of the creation of the first stars using radio telescopes and were blown away with what we saw. I will introduce what we think we know about the era of the first stars, why we already seem to have been proved wrong in a very exciting way with the first detection, and how the upcoming Square Kilometre Array, in Australia, will create an actual movie of our Universe growing up.

The Hamlyn Centre was established for developing safe, effective and accessible technologies to reshape the future of health care through the use of imaging, sensing and robotics in the developing and developed world. Read more
The Cassini mission to the moons of Saturn led to the discovery of water and hydrocarbons around Enceladus. Now Prof Dougherty is planning a visit to the icy moons of Jupiter opening up new possibilities in the search for life. Read more
Like Richard Dawkins’ The Selfish Gene, which provided a new perspective on how evolution works, Life on the Edge alters our understanding of life’s dynamics Read more
The Department of Aeronautics has excellent facilities for research and teaching. Research facilities support computational and experimental projects in fluid mechanics, structural analysis, composites, optimisation and control and aircraft design. Experimental research is supported by well-appointed laboratories and wind tunnels, some of the equipment being unique in this country. Read more
Distinguished climate warrior Sir Brian Hoskins spells out the challenges and proposes technological and political solutions Read more
A visit behind-the-scenes to the flies and mosquito collections and an insight into the research work being carried out Read more
Fire is a good servant but a bad master. What can be done to mitigate the risks of fire in an ever more crowded world where its effects on the natural and built environment are increasing, as recent wild fires in California, Greece, Canada and Australia demonstrate as well disasters at Grenfell and fire's contribution to the loss of SS Titanic.

Post Graduate students will be presenting their take on the next big challenge of the quantum world: developing real world technologies from research. It is just starting to happen. In the next five years technologies will be leaping out of the lab into our lives for example quantum metrology and quantum telecommunications. Read more
