Connect Harwell: Diamond Light Source Virtual Tour & Networking

During this collaborative session, Amy Griffin and David Price from the Diamond Public Engagement Team will take us on a virtual tour of the building and facilities at the Diamond Light Source before moving into breakout networking sessions ideal for making connections with your campus colleagues.

Diamond Light Source is the UK’s synchrotron. It works like a giant microscope, harnessing the power of electrons to produce bright light that scientists can use to study anything from fossils to jet engines to viruses and vaccines.

Diamond is one of the most advanced scientific facilities in the world, and its pioneering capabilities are helping to keep the UK at the forefront of scientific research. Over 5000 researchers from both academia and industry use Diamond to conduct experiments, assisted by approximately 700 staff.

There will be plenty of opportunity to ask questions, offer your thoughts or reach out to your campus colleagues via the chat feature, so, pop the kettle on, slice a piece of your favourite home bake and join us for a fascinating session!

Usually hosted by different campus organisations, Connect Harwell’s bi-monthly events are open to all campus organisations and sectors, providing a central forum to network with colleagues from the 200+ companies and facilities spread across the site, our November event is virtual to adhere to current social distancing restrictions.

Whether you can join us or not, please invite colleagues to sign up and also feel free to invite any contacts you may have from other campus-located organisations that you work with.

We look forward to welcoming you and/or your colleagues to the Connect Harwell online event.

The event is brought to you by Harwell Campus and STFC in partnership.
