Between 11–15 September 2024, the British Science Festival will be coming to the capital, in partnership with the British Science Association (BSA) and the University of East London. Join us to celebrate the people, stories and ideas at the heart of science, with over 100 FREE events running over the five days. The Festival will be held at locations across the University of East London Stratford Campus and Docklands Campus plus key venues across Stratford.
