As the Outduction project draws to the end of its three years, staff from across the University of Bradford are invited to our first major institutional dissemination event when colleagues from participating Schools, ie Engineering, Design, Technology and Computing, Informatics and Media, will present the findings of their mini-projects and we will share what we have learnt about the final year experience at Bradford. This event is a forerunner to the project's Conference at Kew Gardens on 6 September 2011 when the overall findings will be presented.
