Public engagement and gathering space for meeting and interaction across Campus
We offer space where people can communicate physically and intellectually, and provide access to shared facilities and services that allow meeting and interaction across Campus.
The Easter Bush Science Outreach Centre (EBSOC) has been created to develop public engagement. It provides an education facility, workshops and materials for schools to raise interest and awareness of science to the next generation.
EBSOC was designed to develop new relationships and raise public awareness through educational events and workshops.
The team offer an exciting programme of hands-on science workshops for local, national and international primary and secondary schools. In addition, online educational resources are available for P6 to S6 pupils, to support learning in the classroom and information about our teacher professional development courses.
There is also a programme of molecular biology and genetic focused workshops for further education college students of all levels.
The Easter Bush Campus has been regularly involved in public engagement and outreach activities, often supported by tenant companies including:
"The Easter Bush Science Outreach Centre provides hands-on science experiences to school pupils and community groups and in terms of engagement it helps to bring the public closer to the science being conducted at the Easter Bush Campus. ."
