- Science Museum Group: CGI will enter a three-year STEM Circle Scheme and cybersecurity partnership with the Science Museum Group. CGI will also support a series of exhibitions across the Science Museum in London, the Science and Industry Museum in Manchester, and the Science and Media Museum in Bradford to bring different areas of science alive for visitors. This includes the upcoming “Horrible Science: Cosmic Chaos” that will launch at the Science and Industry Museum in February.
- Royal Observatory Greenwich: CGI is partnering with the Royal Observatory Greenwich as it embarks on a landmark capital project to transform the Royal Observatory Greenwich and make science and astronomy accessible to all with its First Light programme. The two-year partnership will support STEM learning opportunities throughout the Observatory’s redevelopment.
For 50 years, CGI has been building the systems that society relies on, from space and cyber technologies to national-scale digital information solutions. Through these partnerships, CGI will continue to deliver STEM engagement initiatives, connecting its partners and clients in support of the UK’s future skills agenda.
