Events

The British Science Festival - one of Europe's largest public science events - will be coming to Birmingham in September 2010.

The Festival brings over 350 of the UK's top scientists, engineers and commentators together to discuss the latest developments in science and technology with the public. Tens of thousands of visitors regularly attend a wide variety of events - from hands-on family days, to debates on current hot topics and unique opportunities to question the UK's top scientists.

The 2010 Festival is organised by the British Science Association in partnership with Aston University, and supported local partners Advantage West Midlands, Birmingham City Council, the University of Birmingham and Birmingham City University.

Hundreds of events are set to take place both on the Aston University campus and at a variety of venues in across the city and the region, from libraries and museums to shopping centres and bars.

Events will include debates, talks, workshops, exhibitions and fieldtrips, attracting academics, general public, school groups and families.
