The University is featuring in a UK-wide campaign this week to highlight the value and importance of university research to our everyday lives.
Universities Week 2014 will be launched today, Monday 9 June at the Natural History Museum in London where a week-long public event will showcase some of the best of UK university research.
Researchers from the University of Southampton will join teams from 44 other UK universities represented at the Museum during the week. The exhibition will include research stations, pop-up performances, debates and live research demonstrations, covering a range of research themes.
The University’s Energy Technology Research Group will be highlighting their work on energy management as part of the University’s “Bringing Research to Life” roadshow. They will demonstrate their AC Cobra electric test car and invite the public to run a virtual electric vehicle with their smartphones to help imagine a city of electric cars running off batteries and the electricity grid.
