University support
The Trust works with universities to help support and enable wider access to outreach and university physics. This work contributes to our commitment to ensure physics opportunities for all, helping to take physics beyond the classroom and give an insight into the real-world application of science.
The Trust works with universities through its programme of part-funded outreach officers and a growing University Physics Outreach Network, which provide teachers and students with access to university research, facilities and outreach opportunities.
In 2023, the Trust published an external evaluation report: Examining the institutional impact of Ogden Trust funding for physics outreach officers which is now available for download.
The inaugural Ogden Outreach Awards, took place in July 2022 and the first collaborative project funding award for university physics outreach teams was announced. This funding is available each year to support universities to work collaboratively and carry out activities strategically together.

Working with universities
Find out more about our three main university initiatives.
Outreach officer network
Supporting local teachers and providing enrichment and enhancement opportunities for physics.
Outreach awards
Celebrating physics outreach and recognising the efforts of those involved in developing and delivering it.
Collaborative project funding
Supporting universities to work collaboratively on physics outreach.
We have produced three publications to support the development and delivery of outreach.
Taking a strategic approach to outreach has been produced to explore a range of approaches for the strategic leadership, management and delivery of outreach. The guide includes top tips to inform the process and case studies to give an insight into real-life experiences. Download your copy of Taking a strategic approach to outreach.
We have developed an evaluation toolkit entitled Capturing Impact to help evaluate the work and impact of our outreach officers and other programmes and activities that we fund – the top tips, models and suggested approaches to evaluation can be applied by anyone working in science outreach. Download your copy of our evaluation toolkit – Capturing Impact.
Exploring leadership and governance for physics outreach presents a summary of the research findings. An Ogden Trust narrative in response to the research findings has been included to enhance the context and wider use of the research.
