Upcoming Events
Here you can find details of any upcoming public events (if no events are listed then we do not have any upcoming events at this time). A full list including past events can be found here.
The ICG also runs the Portsmouth branch of ‘Astronomy on Tap‘ events, where our researchers give short talks in a local pub (events every ~3 months).
Our schools outreach programme focuses on working with our three partner secondary schools in Portsmouth (Mayfield School, Portsmouth Academy and Trafalgar School) and their feeder primary/junior schools. This unfortunately means that we have limited capacity to work with other schools. Events that are open to schools outside of the schools outreach programme will be advertised and booked through the University of Portsmouth Recruitment and Outreach Team. However if you are a teacher and would like to book onto a specific event or discuss what’s coming up then please contact the ICG Public Engagement and Outreach Manager, Dr Jen Gupta, on jennifer.gupta ‘at’ port.ac.uk.
Our Tactile Universe project is opening up astrophysics to people with vision impairments through school workshops and events. See the Tactile Universe website for more details.
