Overview
Outreach is one of the CVC’s key areas of activity. The centre is committed to making its research accessible and relevant to society through engaging content, science communication initiatives and citizen science programmes that bring Computer Vision and Artificial Intelligence closer to people of all ages and backgrounds.
Through its outreach activities, the CVC seeks to foster greater understanding of science, technology and innovation, share its research and its impact with audiences at local, national and international levels, and inspire young people to pursue scientific and technological careers.
The CVC’s Communications Unit plays a key role in connecting research and society, translating complex scientific knowledge into accessible and engaging content and creating opportunities for people to discover, understand, and engage with research and innovation.
