Chemistry Outreach and Public Engagement

Our staff and students are enthusiastic about sharing their excitement and expertise in Chemistry with various audiences. We consider outreach and public engagement such an important part of our responsibility as socially responsible scientists that it is a dedicated subtheme in our research portfolio.
