Outreach & Social Value Survey 2025
Your input is vital in helping the Nuclear Institute and The STEM Project capture, measure, and strengthen the Social Value created through Outreach, Careers, and STEM engagement across our sector.
By sharing your experiences and insights, you will help us:
- Map the wide range of Outreach, Careers, and STEM activities already taking place.
- Evidence the collective impact our sector has on young people, schools, and communities.
- Shape future support, resources, and a shared framework for measuring success.
Your contribution will directly inform a sector-wide definition of “what good looks like” in Outreach, Careers, and STEM engagement. Together, we can build a stronger, more visible story of the Nuclear Sector’s positive impact on society.

One of the key roles you can take on as a Nuclear Institute volunteer is STEM ambassadorship...
STEM Ambassadors plan, organise and deliver learning activities that provide hands-on and relevant experiences for students studying STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) subjects.
Sparking young people’s imagination and informing them of the opportunities relating to careers underpinned by STEM-related skills is vital to ensuring a vibrant nuclear industry in the future. It is also a really effective way of developing public perceptions of nuclear technology.
Delivered in the right way, STEM activities can engage students and equip them with critical thinking, problem solving, creativity and collaboration skills they will need for a career in the nuclear industry.
STEM Ambassadors can also help young people develop the connections between school, the work place, the community and the global economy; teaching them the importance of education and social responsibility.
The UK’s network of STEM ambassadors is run by STEM Learning, who strive to deliver their vision and purpose by working with thousands of schools, colleges and STEM employers, to enable young people of all backgrounds and abilities to meet inspiring role models, understand real world applications of STEM subjects and experience hands-on STEM activities that motivate, inspire and bring learning and career opportunities to life.
