With the Call for Ideas now being open for next year’s Cheltenham Science Festival, we would like to encourage you to take part in this opportunity. There are many benefits of taking part in public engagement events so  make sure to apply before the deadline on Monday 21st November

You can find out more about the call and submit your ideas here http://www.cheltenhamfestivals.com/science/science-in-the-square/call-for-ideas-2017

Cheltenham Science Festival is a 6-day celebration of science with a programme of vibrant and thoughtful discussions, hot debates, mind-blowing performances, participative workshops and hands-on exhibitions.

The Festival is original and lively, and welcomes the audience to join scientists, engineers, comedians, writers, mathematicians and performers to explore science in new ways.

Each year we look for fresh new ideas to create a broad and stimulating programme. We are keen to trial new formats and inventive ways of talking about science, and to attract people who would not normally consider attending a Science Festival.

The themes for 2017 are:

Music and Sound,

Mysteries of the Mind

and Our Future World.

Whether you are a researcher in a lab looking for a place to talk about cutting edge research, a freelance science communicator with a fabulous science show, or an audience member with an idea that you think we should explore at the festival, we would love to hear from you.
