Inspiring Future Scientists and Engineers: How the Challenger Society help deliver your Research with Impact!
We are keen to explore ways in which the Challenger Society can work with you, the marine science community, to help you deliver outreach and/or deliver it on your behalf. We need to gather information on what resources and activities have already been developed in the community, and what further support is needed, so please do contact us with any information and/or ideas you would like to follow up (see contact below).
We are also particularly interested in promoting diversity within marine science, including gender diversity.
If you are keen to get involved in outreach/education with the Challenger Society, do let us know.
If you are attending an education and outreach event and need resources, then please click here, or use the link on the left to access a list of useful Ocean Science resources and materials.
