The University of Edinburgh works to connect science and society to make the world a better place. Their programme of workshops, discussions and exhibitions throughout the Festival showcase the cutting-edge research taking place in the city, including workshops, discussions, and exhibitions and performances that explore the intersection of art and science.

Children can enjoy hands-on workshops and meet real life scientists. Adults can enjoy a range of activities and discussions from identifying what’s real with AI in Truth, Trust and Trickery in the AI Age to the joy our animals bring us in Why We Love Our Pets.
