Glasgow Science Festival

Glasgow Science Festival is back with a fresh batch of science-fuelled fun for adults and weans alike. Explore the world through talks, walks, art, film, experiments and even yoga!

About Glasgow Science Festival

Glasgow Science Festival returns for the 13th year with a fantastic array of events for all ages. Explore the science and engineering that’s shaping life on Earth through talks, art, film, experiments, family days and more!

From 6-16 June 2019 we're delighted to present a fresh programme of innovative events to spark your curiosity and trigger the imagination. Explore the science and engineering that’s shaping life on Earth through talks, art, film, experiments, family days and more!

This year’s theme is ‘Glasgow STEAMS Ahead’, linking with steam-engine innovator James Watt, who kick-started the industrial revolution and died 200 years ago.

We want to celebrate Glasgow’s rich heritage and bright future for innovation. From renewable energy to space exploration and revolutionary healthcare, discover how ‘weegie research is pushing boundaries and changing the world.

STEAMS encompasses not only Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics – but also the fantastic Arts and Social Sciences research that shapes our city.

We strongly believe that science is for everyone, from the weans to yer granny. So, don a metaphorical lab coat for the day and join us for Glasgow’s biggest celebration of world-leading research.
