Public Engagement

Talks

Members of our Department deliver talks on particle physics, the Large Hadron Collider, neutrinos, latest antimatter, dark matter, CERN, new methods to accelerate charged particles, as well as about the applications that fundamental research has enabled.

For example, Professor Tara Shears has delivered talks to a variety of audiences. Many of these are recorded and available online:

TEDx events:

• The God in Small Things : TEDx Manchester
• Why Antimatter Matters: TEDx Liverpool
• The Dark Side of the Universe: TEDx Arendal

The Department has also produced a number of science short films for general audiences, including

• Busy bees and mighty magnets
• FCC Expanding our Horizons
• Science knows no Borders
• AVA - Nature (anti-)matters

Finally, we have organized many outreach events for international audiences, featuring world-class speakers including Professor Brian Cox, Dr Ceri Brenner, and award-winning designer and author Curtis Jobling
