DICE recognises the importance of sharing news about the conservation work of our staff, students and alumni and so we actively engage with the wider world through outreach events, traditional new sources and social media accounts.
We run a number of talks and events, including DICE talks that are open to the public and the annual DICE Lecture given by a distinguished conservation scientist or practitioner. The DICE Twitter Conference takes place every summer and showcases research done by our students, staff and alumni. The DICE seminar series runs in the Autumn Term for staff and students to hear about the latest research from visiting academics.
We also play a major role in the University of Kent BioBlitz that takes places in early summer each year.
DICE has social media accounts on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
