We are organising our series of Café Scientifique events for September 2023 – July 2024
Café Scientifique is a public event that takes place at The Black Cherry in Boscombe on the first Tuesday of the month (excluding January & August), and is organised centrally by the BU Public Engagement with Research Team, part of Research Development and Support.
The format involves delivering a short talk, followed by the opportunity for discussion and questions from a varied public audience. It is a fantastic opportunity for you to gain experience in engaging with the public in a friendly relaxed atmosphere.
We welcome academics at all career stages, although this opportunity is particularly valuable for those getting started in engaging with the public. We encourage collaboration between less experienced and more experienced public speakers to provide a worthwhile learning experience.
The team will support you every step of the way, from developing your ideas to engage with audience members, to setting up and promoting your event, we also help on the day to ensure your event runs smoothly.
