Professor Adrian Sutton was recently invited to give two talks to the ‘59 Club’ at Marlborough College. The ‘59 Club’ is comprised of the Heads of Science from 26 of the top independent schools in the UK.
Professor Adrian Sutton’s first talk was about Imperial Horizons and explored what constitutes a well-rounded education in a STEM subject. Imperial Horizons is a programme designed for Imperial undergraduate students which aims to broaden their education, inspire creativity and enhance their professional impact. Imperial Horizons comprises of a variety of 8 week courses aimed to develop skills to aid students after graduating.
The second of Professor Sutton’s talks was about his research on radiation damage of metals for nuclear fusion power generation.
The audience had the chance to ask Professor Sutton questions and one participant commented: “It was very informative and highly thought provoking – I think it was evident from the questions you were asked how impressed people were with what you are accomplishing at Imperial. The ability to get students thinking beyond the confines of their chosen subjects is, I believe, a very important one.”
