The Sport of Science

A celebration of the relationship between Sport and Science in the lead-up to London 2012.

On the 17 January 2012 we will be bringing together a panel of speakers, including Exeter alumni, who are involved in the Games – both on the field and behind the scenes – to talk about their own experiences and the relationship between science and sport.

The event is open to students from the College of Engineering, Mathematics and Physical Sciences and the College of Life and Environmental Sciences, as well as the Athletic Union and 14 - 18 year olds from local schools and sports clubs. We will be raising the aspirations of everyone involved by demonstrating real-world links between sport and science.

To accompany the event we will be publishing a series of blogs from Exeter students and alumni involved in the Games throughout the spring and summer. Make sure you check back to these pages soon to catch up on all the Olympic action!
