There are many places where humans cannot go! For engineers at the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA), the centre for Remote Applications in Challenging Environments (RACE) is the place to design and test robotic systems that work in extreme situations. Whether repairing a nuclear reactor or upgrading particle physics experiments, skilled operators remotely control unique robotic tools to complete complex tasks. Learn about the challenges of designing and operating remote engineering tools as part of the pursuit of safe fusion energy.

IF Oxford uses Pay What You Decide (PWYD) ticketing so you can choose to pay whatever you want, or can afford. You can make your donation during booking or after the event and the amount you pay is up to you. A suggested donation of £5 per person for each event enjoyed will help secure the future of the Festival.
