Welcome to Public Engagement at the Kavli Institute for Cosmology! Use the links below to explore our outreach activities, including opportunities for community groups and schools.
Astronomy Outreach for Schools
We are happy to provide astronomy outreach for school groups (at any keystage) who are studying astronomy. Generally this involves an astronomer coming to visit your school, but we can also arrange for your class to visit the department. Follow this link for more information.
Project AstroEast
Since the start of 2019 we have been running the flagship project `AstroEast’, designed to extend our existing outreach efforts beyond the Cambridge area. We are working with schools across Norfolk, Suffolk, and Peterborough to deliver a variety of astronomy teaching sessions, workshops, and science clubs designed around Kavli research themes. Follow this link for more information.
Cambridge LaunchPad
Open afternoons at KICC
On the last weekend of the Cambridge Science Festival the Kavli opens the doors to the public at our annual KICC/IoA Open Afternoon. We provide talks, displays, demonstrations, and activities, promoting Kavli research themes to an audience of all ages. These are staffed by volunteers among the researchers and students at the Kavli and IoA. The next KICC Open Afternoon will be in March 2025.
