- Key elements of the programme include opportunities to visit industrial sites, research centres, scientific institutions and organisations, including world class research institutions and laboratories. These visits include departments at, Oxford and Cambridge as well as Airbus, Rolls Royce, National Oceanography Centre and Culham Science Center, to name a few.
