Part of European Researchers’ Night, the Natural History Museum is hosting a festival of science on Friday night, and it is free. They will open their doors after hours in which the public will have the opportunity to connect and engage with scientists and uncover cutting-edge research.
The Research Project Management Office, who manage Imperial-led research projects, will be supporting Imperial researchers to bring their Horizon2020 research to the public. You can find our Imperial researchers on the night in the below activities
EAVI2020 – a research project aiming to accelerate the search for an HIV vaccine will be in the Dialogue Den, asking the public what they think about HIV vaccine development and research.
EDEN2020 – a research project developing a steerable catheter for precision life-saving cancer treatment to impossible-to-reach places in the brain, will be showcasing their protypes in an interactive display for a pop-up science station.
PERFORM2020 – a research project developing innovative diagnostic tools to distinguish between viral and bacterial infections will be showing in a pop-up science station why this research is crucial and the impacts the tools will have economically, socially and environmentally.
PRESTIGE-AF – A research project to optimise stroke prevention in patients with intracerebral haemorrhage will be in the EU Pub – mull over a menu of thought-provoking questions, or ask your own, as you have a drink with the PRESTIGE-AF researchers.
