This is a unique collaboration between science and design that explores the importance of engineering and physical sciences in all aspects of our lives.

To communicate the impact of the research we fund, the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) co-ordinated a mixed media exhibition of original design proposals which explore the relationship between science and society.

We paired 16 EPSRC funded research teams with designers from the Royal College of Art, Design Interactions Department to work together to produce conceptual designs. These include many mediums, including videos, photographs, interactives, prototypes, props and system diagrams and illustrations.

The IMPACT! exhibition was at the Cheltenham Science Festival, 9-13th June. More details can be found here.

Full information about all the exhibits can be found under the "EXHIBITS" tabs above.

The original exhibition was open from 16-21st March 2010, at the Royal College of Art in Kensington.

This site contains videos, photos and blogs from those involved.

We will also use this site to keep you updated on other places the exhibition will be appearing. This may include universities, science festivals or other exhibitions, watch this space!
