We are currently welcoming event idea submissions for the next Science Festival, which runs Saturday 4 – Sunday 19 April.
With the theme Going Global, the Festival will showcase the research and innovation created through international partnerships, amplify the voices and contribution of underrepresented communities and highlight Scotland’s role in driving global scientific advances.
We will consider all event submissions, but are particularly looking for talks and discussions, family shows and digital experiences.
Before submitting your idea, read the Call for Ideas Submission Guide below for details of the process, information about participation fees and an overview of the benefits you’ll receive as part of the Festival.
Deadline for submissions is midnight on Sunday 21 September and successful applicants will be contacted in mid-October.
