Reminder: British Science Festival 2020 applications closing soon!
Proposal deadline: Monday 17 February at 5pm
Each year, thousands of people come together to celebrate the latest developments in research and engage in open discussion about issues affecting our culture and society. Through a mixture of traditional and creative formats, it focuses on showcasing cutting-edge science and technology.
The Festival will be hosted by Anglia Ruskin University and will be taking place from the 8-12 September in Chelmsford and Essex. All events will be free to attend!
Call for proposals
The open call is an opportunity for anyone to submit an event idea. Festival proposals should be aimed at non-specialist adults (16+) with a broad interest in science. During the week, Festival events will take place in the daytime on the university campus, followed by events throughout the city each evening. To close the Festival, there will be a final celebration over the weekend. The programme is aimed at a range of formats from talks to drop-in activities and creative content that challenges perceptions of what science is and can be.
