CII at the University of York Science Trail 2011

Outreach and public engagement

The CII is proud of its strong record of public engagement. Please see adjacent for a list of our most recent outreach activities.

Our key objectives include:

Raising awareness of the work of CII

CII is eager to promote a better understanding from the earliest age of how the human immune system works and of the science of infectious diseases affecting people across the globe. Its pioneering work has been the subject of many newspaper and journal articles.

Making science accessible and fun for all

Staff and students at the Centre regularly give talks and demonstrations to a wide range of non-specialist audiences: including visits to primary and secondary schools, delivering materials to school teachers at the National Science Learning Centre, taking part in STEM events and science festivals, and interacting with the public.

Taking part in local and national science events

Members of the CII take part in externally-funded and University-wide science outreach events, including York Science Trail, York Festival of Science Discovery Days, British Society of Immunology outreach events and STEM events.
