Beer brewing, forensic science, artificial intelligence, sci-fi culture and groundbreaking ideas will combine at Aberdeen Science Festival, powered by TechFest, which runs from September 21 to 28.
This dynamic celebration of science and technology will offer a week of unforgettable experiences across city venues.
Supported by joint principal sponsors bp and Shell and festival sponsor Equinor, the newly created festival is primarily aimed at adults, including students and senior school pupils, with STEM Nights and Hot Topics set to generate thought-provoking debate.
Previously known as the TechFest public programme, this new festival is everything that the public has come to love over the years, with a fresh new twist and a new name to help describe exactly what the festival will deliver.
Sessions will take place at locations including the University of Aberdeen, Robert Gordon University, The Lemon Tree and Greyhope Bay, with a diverse range of events for everyone to enjoy.
Tickets are now on sale, priced at just £6 for adults and £4 concession.
Dr Martha Gavan, deputy managing director of TechFest said: “We’re excited to bring Aberdeen Science Festival to life, drawing on four decades of experience of delivering science, technology, engineering and maths themed events.
“Our background means we are perfectly placed to deliver Aberdeen Science Festival and bring an array of interactive events, insightful presentations and fascinating shows to both new and loyal audiences.”
Aberdeen Science Festival’s events are organised into four distinct categories. Throughout its eight-day run, the festival will deliver sessions under the headings of Hot Topics, STEM Nights, Engaging Experiences and Family Fest.
