WHAT TO SEE IN BATHBath is a beautiful city with a history going back to the Roman period, while its sacred springs may have been used for millennia before that. Today, the entire town centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Roman Baths (Stall St, BA1 1LZ)
The Herschel Museum of Astronomy19 New King Street BA1 2B
The Royal CrescentAn iconic landmark of the city, the Royal Crescent can be found north-west of the old town, near the Bath Assembly Rooms. The Crescent was built between 1767 and 1775, and is one of the finest examples of wealthy Georgian architecture in Britain. The lawns may be cold for a picnic this week, but at night it makes for a magical place to walk.
This small and sweet museum is actually the house from which William Herschel discovered the planet Uranus. in 1781. The museum contains replicas of Herschel’s telescopes, as well as a selection of celestial globes, armillary spheres and designs. It’s not the most glamourous museum in the world, but the rooms can provide an hour of quiet joy for astronomy fans. Open 1pm - 5pm, tickets £6.
The Must-See tourist attraction in Bath. Not open for bathing, sadly (you can do that down the road), but these baths are some of the most spectacular Roman ruins in the world. A beautifully reconstructed, open air bath leads down into the underground chambers containing remnants of the original engineering and a fascinating museum. Open 9:30am - 5pm, tickets £14.

The hydrogen and fuel cells SUPERGEN is funded by the Research Councils UK Energy Programme, as part of the government’s Sustainable Power Generation and Supply initiative. It was set up in 2012 to address the key challenges facing the hydrogen and fuel cell sector as it strives to provide cost competitive, low carbon technologies in a more secure UK energy landscape. The main hub activities consist of the following:
MULTIDISCIPLINARY COLLABORATION
The H2FC SUPERGEN consists of a multidisplinary team of academics. The core research programme for the hub includes: Policy – Research synthesis – Hydro-gen and Fuel Cell Systems – Hydrogen and Fuel Cells Safety – Education and training – Hydrogen storage – Polymer Electrolyte Fuel cells – Solid Oxide Fuel cells and electrolysers.
LINKING ACADEMIA TO INDUSTRY
H2FC SUPERGEN brings together top academics and key experts in industry, ensuring that Hydrogen and Fuel Cell research can effectively scale up to support wealth and job creation for the UK.
INFORMING POLICY
The hub seeks to inform key stakeholders, and especially policy makers, of the potential benefits of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies, and their capacity for addressing the energy trilemma: energy security, energy cost, and environmental sustainability; alongside assessment of opportunities for job creation. This is done through evidence based white papers written by hub scientists, and through direct
BUILDING NETWORKS
The Hub champions hydrogen and fuel cells research, both within the UK and internationally. It spreads its message via networks, knowledge exchange, stake-holder engagement, community building, education, training and continuous professional development.
