Open Day: Institutes of Energy Futures & Materials and Manufacturing

As one of the UK’s foremost technical universities, Brunel has a rich history of world-leading research, innovation and teaching excellence. We are heavily involved with our local community in West London and run a wide range of events throughout the year that members of the public can get involved with, from public lectures on our research, to arts and cultural events.
