Community Building…
Rapidly evolving as a leading centre for scientific research and development in Health and Life Sciences and Defence Technology in the UK, PSP is situated at Porton Down in the south Wiltshire countryside and it offers a beautiful and scenic setting at an extraordinarily unique and prestigious location where it’s establishing a strong brand identity.
PSP’s emerging calendar of events to support community building include:
- annual outreach programme supporting school visits where PSP and its tenants offer talks/presentations to advise and guide “local to the South Wilts area” secondary school STEMM students on career pathways in S & T
- annual internships and work placement opportunities for second year undergraduates from Bristol, Exeter, Southampton and Surrey universities (6 or 12 months programmes)
- annual inter-campus organisations 5K walk in support of a nominated local charity
- annual Summer BBQ (plus game of rounders and Tug of War)
- annual inter-company quiz
- annual Christmas holiday drinks
- quarterly TEDEx-style lunchtime talk – Company Head or external guest offering a lunchtime talk to PSP tenant staff in a sector related subject of interest*
