This event will bring together colleagues from across The University of Manchester whose work relates to nuclear research. Internal attendees only.
Join us for a vibrant and creative day of connection, storytelling, and strategy at the Dalton Community Day 2025 – where the power of nuclear research meets the art of impactful communication.
Start the day with professional headshots and refreshments before diving into a rich programme of talks, hands-on creativity, and big-picture thinking.
From storytelling through art with the Friends of the Whitworth Gallery to collaborative sessions using imagery, artifacts, and mark-making, we’ll explore the stories behind our research and how to communicate them in compelling ways.
Share your “what” – bring an object that represents your research
Discover your “how” – transform your work into art for outreach
Shape the “why” – contribute your ideas to the university’s future Grand Challenges strategy
Network, create, reflect, and influence. With a wine reception, 20 Dalton Moments showcase, and interactive strategy session, this is your chance to celebrate and shape the future of nuclear research at Dalton.
Reserve your spot now – and bring your story to life.
