The Festival of Learning is now in its second year, and 裸聊直播鈥檚 Vice-Chancellor Professor John Vinney hopes it will be even bigger and better than before.
鈥淟ast year we had over 4,000 local people joining us to find out more about our research and how it can impact their lives and the lives of those around the world,鈥� he said.

The events focus around several exciting themes 鈥� including Food and Drink, Professional Development, and Secret Dorset 鈥� with activities looking at a range of diverse subjects, covering everything from health and nutrition to business accounting and finance, and the technology of tomorrow.
There are also live labs running on campus throughout the week, giving people the chance to experience first-hand the work and research taking place at the university 鈥� from testing to see if you are a super-recogniser to understanding the physical reactions people have playing video games.
