Purpose and values

Life is always evolving to make sure it reflects the needs of the region.

In a world that is increasingly shaped by science and technology, we want to make sure that people in North East England are inspired by the innovation and opportunities that are out there. We want them to see science as relevant, exciting and possibly something they can explore as a career.

Everything we do is rooted in our values
