‘Imagine, Explore, Discover – Science at the University of Dundee’ – 4th to 22nd November

Published On Fri 30 Oct 2015 by Grant Hill

The ground-breaking science taking place at the University of Dundee will be celebrated at a series of public events in November.

‘Imagine, Explore, Discover – Science at the University of Dundee’ will showcase the research carried out at the University in creative ways that engage with audiences young and old. The programme will see 17 exhibitions, demonstrations, workshops, talks, open days and family events take place at the University and other venues in Dundee from Wednesday 4th to Sunday 22nd November.

Members of the public will have the chance to visit the laboratories where leading-edge research takes place at the University’s School of Life Sciences, enjoy stand-up comedy that examines the lighter side of research, learn more about plants in the tranquil surroundings of the Botanic Gardens and explore Dundee’s links to Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.

‘Imagine, Explore, Discover’ organiser Dr Jon Urch said, “Join us at the Scottish University of the Year for over two weeks of exciting events.

“Creativity is at the heart of each event which bring science and our research to life in different ways. The programme is packed with surprises for everyone from spooky Frankenstein activities to intriguing exhibitions; from stand-up comedy to events where you can meet world-leading scientists.”

“Our staff have created some excellent events throughout November and we’d urge everyone to take a look at our programme and find the science event that’s up their street.”

‘Imagine, Explore, Discover – Science at the University of Dundee’ invites people to:

  • Imagine – the future, and ask how both our bodies and our cities will evolve.
  • Explore – the Universe as they land a spacecraft on a planet and delve in to the University’s archives.
  • Discover – how research at Dundee is making a difference, both locally and globally.
