Programme 2025
This national event brings together delegates from the UK’s major science engagement organisations to play a strategic role in the nation’s engagement with science. Working in collaboration with people from these key organisations, the conference programme of talks, workshops, networking sessions and discussions will explore what’s on the horizon for the sector right now, over the next 5 years and longer term over 25 years.
This year’s programme explores:
- Adapting to digital developments and emerging AI technologies
- Reshaping public connection to science through theatre
- Optimising for impact
- Uplifting the voices of young people
- Listening to what your audiences have to say
- Nurturing a thriving workforce
This year we’re incorporating even more opportunities to hear your opinions, ideas and debate and reflect with fellow peers.
