Open Days - Engaging with the public
Events are a great chance to meet people interested in our research and hear any feedback about our work. |
There are always a few short presentations from researchers and lots of opportunities for people to chat informally to find out more. We also have demonstrations of our research equipment, so people can understand how the research is done.The BRU hosts annual open days for the public and patients to explore our latest research. We select a different theme each year, but always ensure we provide a diverse range of activities to appeal to different people.Videos
We are dedicated to communicating our research to the public and have produced a number of videos ranging from Manchester Minute Microlectures, which are 1 minute videos explaining an area of research, to videos made with patients to discuss their questions about musculoskeletal research.
