Manchester Science Festival is an annual nine-day, multi-venue science festival that focuses on science, technology, engineering and maths. Held across Greater Manchester, the inaugural Manchester Science Festival was in 2007 [1].
The Festival typically includes hands-on events for families as well as a programme of talks and debates for adults [2]. Creative events are also central to the Festival programme; previous years have seen microbe knitting [3] and Super K Sonic BOOUM [4], an installation designed by Nelly Ben Haoum, which aimed to interpret the Super-Kamiokande Neutrino Observatory in Japan.
Partners
The Festival partners include the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester, Manchester: Knowledge Capital, British Science Association, Nowgen, Manchester Museum, Greater Manchester STEM Centre, Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Network, Institute of Physics and the University of Manchester, University of Bolton, Manchester Metropolitan University and University of Salford, amongst others.
