The Midlands Science Festival is a seven-day programme of around 50 events running throughout the Midlands with the aim of celebrating science, maths, engineering, technology and it’s importance in our lives.
This exciting and innovative week provides an opportunity for people to participate in events and activities that showcase science in a variety of ways and the carefully planned programme is hugely varied with something for people of all ages and abilities.
The festival is part of national ‘Science Week’, which is Ireland’s biggest annual promotion of science to the general public. The week-long schedule of events across Ireland each November aims to make science more interesting & accessible to children & adults alike. The 1st national Science Week took place in 1996, and since then it has grown to around 800 events a year. Events take place in schools, colleges, universities, libraries, companies and other public places and are run mainly by volunteers. The national media and promotional campaign is coordinated by SFI’s Discover Programme. Festivals take place around the country in Sligo, Galway, Mayo, Limerick, Cork, Waterford and now, the Midlands. There will be opportunities to meet real scientists & learn how recent discoveries and research affect our daily lives. Most of the events are offered at no charge to participants.
