Outreach
In 2006 CUDOS began planning and implementing an outreach program.
The aim of this program is to communicate the research and goals of CUDOS to the wider public.
As the program develops we aim to develop two information repositories:
1) A collection of multimedia material and references that is useful in the explanation of Optics and Photonics research;
2) Information about science communication, to assist those presenting scientific ideas (specifically the work of CUDOS) to a wider non-scientific audience.
