Cork Science Festival is returning this month from 13th - 20th of November.
The festival has been organised by researchers, science educators and industry experts aiming to increase interest in science subjects and showcase the best of Cork's science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics.
This year’s programme includes plenty of free public events such as a Celebrate Science Family Day, expert talks, behind the scenes science tours, industry open days, lab visits, workshops, and live science shows.
It's set to take place in venues and schools throughout Cork, all of which can be delivered in person for the first time in years. Centres of science including UCC, MTU, and Tyndall will also open their doors to the public to showcase their scientific projects.
Launching Science Week, Minister for Higher Education Simon Harris said:
“I am delighted to launch Science Week 2022. It is fantastic to see the conversations we had during Creating Our Future continue and to see them inform further conversations during events such as Science Week. As we consider the role that science plays in all of our lives, and how it affects our future, Science Week provides us with an opportunity to engage with science in informative and creative ways. I would encourage everyone to get involved, attend Science Week events, and use your voice to help us overcome the challenges our country and our world faces.”
