Festivals - fostering engagement

We facilitate the university's engagement with a wide range of local and national festivals, covering both Arts and Science. Nottingham Researchers regularly host events as part of the Festival of Science and Curiosity, Pint of Science, SoapBox Science, Being Human and the Festival of Social Science. We also host our own large events aimed at the public, including Science in the Park, which is a collaborative event with Nottingham Trent University.
