Public engagement
Public Engagement Reps
All our public engagement activities are overseen by a student-led Public Engagement Committee, which comprises one elected public engagement representative per cohort.

Interested in finding out more about our public engagement activities? Contact us on composites-cdt@bristol.ac.uk and one of our public engagement representatives (find out more about them above) will get back to you.
Students actively work to generate public awareness of composites and the research taking place within the CDT. They do this both by running their own activities - making videos, running workshops for schools, writing blogs; and participating in established schemes such as Engineers Without Borders, STEM Ambassadors, FUTURES, and Pint of Science, to name but a few. Read about some of our latest activities below.
