We’re excited to be hosting our 4th Exhibition: ‘Green Horizons – Towards Sustainable Futures’ in just 4 weeks’ time. This is taking place at Edinburgh Napier University’s Merchiston Campus. This is open to the public on Wednesday 14th May from 10am until 6pm. The Exhibition is a showcase of the research, learning and teaching that goes on within the school with hands-on, ‘touch and see’ exhibits.
