FULL PROGRAMME AVAILABLE NOW! The British Science Festival is Europe’s largest event of its kind and is being delivered by the British Science Association, alongside local hosts, TechFest-SetPoint and the University of Aberdeen. The theme is ‘Energising Minds’ and this will be explored through a range of topical issues.
There is a great selection of talks, debates and evening events, including our key note speakers. Brian Cox, Bill Bryson, Paul Nurse and Susan Greenfield are just some of the 'famous faces' participating in this year's Festival.
The programme offers a number of workshops, exhibitions and drop-in sessions throughout the Festival.
