Help us deliver the 2023 Festival

Each year around June, the British Science Association recruits Festival Assistants to work on the days of the Festival and help deliver all its events. Other than good teamwork and customer service skills, no prior work experience is needed!

Opportunities to get involved in the 2023 Community grants

Each year, the British Science Association provides grants of £500 to community groups/organisations in the host festival city that work directly with audiences who are traditionally underrepresented and currently not engaged in science activity. We want to empower and support community groups to run their own science activities as part of the British Science Festival, enabling new local audiences to engage with science.
