We are here to help you explore genetics and genomic research, whatever your interests, knowledge or background. We arrange visits to the Campus and events across the UK. We also explore the impact of genomics on society.
Join us at our events on the Campus and across the UK where you can explore genomics and biodata. Check out our upcoming events, find something you like, then come join in!
Public engagement
We organise events and exhibitions that enable you to get closer to the science of genomics and its role in our history, society and culture.

Learn moreWe are continually asking ‘how are people responding to genomics? And ‘what is the impact on society?’ Through surveys and interviews we gather attitudes, values and opinions for use in policy and practice, to improve the experiences of study participants, patients, their families as well as scientists and health professionals. We create films that explain the impact of genetics, some of which have been selected to show at film festivals around the world.
