Our programmes

We are committed to ensuring that we are a safe place to work, study and visit. Given the challenging situation in relation to COVID-19, we have decided to postpone our face-to-face engagement activities at The Invention Rooms and in the local area until further notice. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause, for more information, please contact whitecity.community@imperial.ac.uk
