Abstract
Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.

Description | This was the same grant as PP/C506805/1, so one should refer to information entered there for here here (it was a EURYI award and hence was one award, but for a reason I don't fully understand there were two grants created). |
Exploitation Route | See above - same as PP/C506805/1 |
Sectors | Education |

Description | See the list in the narrative |
Form Of Engagement Activity | A talk or presentation |
Part Of Official Scheme? | Yes |
Geographic Reach | National |
Primary Audience | Schools |
Results and Impact | Significant increase in interest in astronomy and science in general from the talks, PRs etc. Increase in number of work experience requests for physics based opportunities. Quantitative increase in applications to Physics course from students in NI - I don't personally take credit for this, but all my outreach activities contributed to the University's Physics amd astronomy extensive outreach programme which did lead to increase in applications and students studying Physics based courses (quantifiable evidence submitted to REF 2013). |
