Get inspired at BU’s Research Café

Join a community of curious minds to ask questions, share ideas, and explore research at Bournemouth University. Enjoy thought-provoking talks followed by lively discussions, where you can engage directly with guest speakers and fellow attendees.

Our next event will explore the Sonamoni Project, an international collaboration focused on preventing drowning among children in rural Bangladesh.

Join us on Tuesday 1 July, from 6:30 to 8pm, for a short talk and open discussion with researchers from Bournemouth University. They’ll share insights from the Sonamoni Project, which is funded by the National Institute for Health Research.

In many Bangladeshi communities, child safety has a direct impact on whether women are able to work. This talk will look at how community-led safety initiatives not only protect children but also support women’s livelihoods.

The research team brings together experts from three UK universities, the RNLI, the Centre for Injury Prevention and Research in Bangladesh, and Design without Borders in Uganda. The evening will also include an interactive virtual reality experience that brings the research to life.

Taking place at the BGB Café, the event will begin at 6:30pm. The café opens at 6pm, so arrive early to buy a drink and a bite to eat before the event begins.
