Take your research to the British Science Festival, deadline 20 Feb 2023
The British Science Festival are looking for events that showcase cutting-edge science, celebrate the latest developments in science and technology and engage their audience in open discussion about relevant issues that affect culture and society. The festival takes place 7-10 September 2023 in Exeter.
The British Science Festival are now accepting event proposals for the British Science Festival 2023.

They anticipate that the vast majority of events in the 2023 programme will use a range of participatory formats, besides talks and lecture-style events, and will take place outside of a traditional lecture-theatre setting.
