If that got your attention then keep reading – it gets better!
We need some more researchers from across Bournemouth University (BU) to join us in The Curiosity Playground (part of this year’s Festival of Learning). The Curiosity Playground celebrates the creative, fun and wacky research happening at BU. The purpose of this event is to increase public awareness of the spectrum of research that BU conducts, and the key message is that research is fun, interesting and amenable to all.
There is even some funding available to help develop props to showcase your research (and you get to keep them afterwards so you can use them for other events too).
So what are you waiting for GET INVOLVED!!!!
