The British Science Festival is one of Europe's largest celebrations of science, engineering and technology, with over 250 events, activities, exhibitions and trips taking place.
The Festival is unique among those in the UK as it moves to a different location around the UK every year. The programme of events offers something for everyone with activity for families and schools groups, adults looking for entertainment and stimulating debate or professionals interested in the latest research.

The 2012 British Science Festival in Aberdeen is organised by the British Science Association, the University of Aberdeen and TechFest-SetPoint .
The Festival will bring together leading academics, award-winning commentators, science communicators, authors and performers. There will also be an exciting schools programme to complement the main festival, offering young people of all ages the chance to get involved in science, technology, engineering and maths.
The University of Aberdeen co-ordinates a rich annual calendar of public engagement events. Our programme of community Cafés is the largest of its kind in the UK and now includes series dedicated to topics ranging from science and medicine to the cosmos.
In addition to events in Aberdeen, the programme has been extended to include events in Banchory, Fraserburgh and Inverurie. Other highlights in the annual calendar include National Science and Engineering Week (March) and TechFest in September.
