Rationale
• Materials Science is a strategically important yet vulnerable subject
• Our primary role is to support those teaching in Higher Education
• However, unless the problem of dwindling student numbers is addressed, and reversed, there won’t be anyone to teach…
•Therefore, assisting with Outreach has become a core activity of our centre
