The British Science Festival

Europe’s biggest science festival is coming to Aberdeen in 2012 hosted by the University of Aberdeen working alongside TechFest-SetPoint. The British Science Festival has a long history: Previously known as the Annual Meeting of the British Association it has been running since 1831 and last visited Scotland in 2001, and Aberdeen in 1963.

As well as spotlighting the host region and partners to an international audience, the Festival now attracts substantial media coverage with embedded daily press conferences covered by over 120 on-site journalists and features a comprehensive suite of specialist, public and schools events.
