Universities Week 2014 - 9-15 June

Release Date 09 June 2014

Universities Week 2014

The University of Reading is delighted to be part of Universities Week, a national campaign organised by Universities UK, that is focused on raising the profile of university research and its impact on our everyday lives.

Events and activities will be taking place at institutions all over the country and here at Reading we are proud to host a special showcase programme.

For the whole of next week, a team of staff will be exhibiting ‘Bees, berries and bicycles' at the Natural History Museum in London, alongside many other UK universities.

#PeoplesQs - tweet your questions

Fourteen of our academics are taking part in the national #PeoplesQs twitter chat for #uniweek, giving you, and people all over the world, the opportunity to ask researchers and academics about their work.

So just tweet them, and academics from many other universities, using #PeoplesQs and #uniweek, to get answers to any burning questions you might have!
