Events for Schools and Colleges

05/07/26

School students, their families and friends are invited to attend a ‘Young Researchers Symposium’ in which 10 schools in the Midlands and 10 partner schools in China will all present the results of their research project ‘Salty Solutions’ on the effects of minerals, including sea water, on the growth of plants, carried out in collaboration with the Universities of Warwick and Birmingham.

The rapidly growing population and shortage of freshwater pose a serious threat to global food security. Our young researchers are investigating how salt-water farming could transform the planet’s most abundant water source into a sustainable solution for a warming world.

This schools event will form an important part of a wider International Symposium, 5-7 July 2026: Metals of Life: Transforming Health, Energy, and Environment

The University of Warwick’s Design Studies Department is excited to offer school visits that bring the world of design directly to your students.

During these sessions, members of our academic team will introduce the dynamic field of design, exploring how creativity, technology, and problem-solving can come together to make a sustainable impact on our world. We will also provide an overview of the innovative Design Studies courses available at Warwick, highlighting the skills and opportunities our industry-led programmes offer.

Each visit concludes with an engaging Q&A session—giving students the chance to ask questions, gain insights, and be inspired to imagine their future in design. For overseas schools, we are also able to provide online sessions tailored to your needs and requirements.
