Ørsted

The Natural History Museum is proud to partner with Ørsted, a renewable energy company that takes action to create a world that runs entirely on green energy.

Ørsted have been Associate Sponsor of the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition since 2014. This relationship champions our mutual goal to protect the planet and tackle the threats facing the natural world.

The competition, now in its fifty-eighth year, is the longest running and most prestigious photographic event of its kind in the world, showcasing the breathtaking diversity of life on Earth and uncovering the surprising, and sometimes challenging, stories behind the photographs. Find out more about the Museum's most popular exhibition by visiting nhm.ac.uk/wpy/.

The long-term partnership between Ørsted and the Museum has provided the opportunity to launch a joint education initiative exploring the role that informal science learning environments can play in pupils' scientific aspirations. Generate: Scientists of the Future builds relationships with schools and students over three years to help shape positive attitudes toward science among young people.

The aim of the programme is to make science accessible for a more diverse range of students. After the first year we have succeeded in raising awareness of the diversity of science-related careers and emphasised the role that science plays in our everyday lives.
