About the Trust

The National Science-Technology Roadshow Trust (The Trust) has been in operation since 1990. As time has moved on, and the operations have broadened, the Trust is taking on a more public profile as the umbrella organisation to our programmes.

This web site outlines the majority of the programmes and operations which we are now involved in, though smaller projects, of shorter duration often never quite make it here.

Enjoy your visit to our site, we hope you find it useful to you.
