| Description | 2014 Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition: Higgs Boson |
| Form Of Engagement Activity | Participation in an activity, workshop or similar |
| Part Of Official Scheme? | No |
| Geographic Reach | Regional |
| Primary Audience | Public/other audiences |
| Results and Impact | Participated in the extremely popular RS Summer Science Exhibition on the Higgs Boson. RHUL members helped man the exhibit stand fielding numerous questions and engaging in discussions with visitors. Overall the visitors will have increased their understanding of particle physics and (hopefully) their appreciation for scientific research. |

| Description | Institute of Physics 2014 Joint High Energy Particle Physics and Astro Particle Physics Groups Annual Meeting |
| Form Of Engagement Activity | Scientific meeting (conference/symposium etc.) |
| Part Of Official Scheme? | Yes |
| Type Of Presentation | workshop facilitator |
| Geographic Reach | National |
| Primary Audience | Professional Practitioners |
| Results and Impact | Approximately 250 physicists from the UK as well as a number of invited international speakers gathered for 3 days at RHUL for the annual IoP spring meeting, followed by the STFC Town Meeting. The meeting served to inform the community about ongoing research and the Town Meeting allowed the community to plan and discuss future strategy. |
