British Science Festival 2016 hosted by Swansea University

The British Science Festival is Europe’s longest-standing national event which connects people with scientists, engineers, technologists and social scientists.

Tens of thousands of people come together to celebrate the latest developments in science and to engage in open discussion about issues that affect our culture and society.

Each September the British Science Festival transforms a different UK city into a vibrant celebration of science, engineering and technology.

The four-day Festival will be immediately followed by a Family Weekend in Swansea on 10 & 11 September 2016.
