The international science outreach festival Pint of Science is returning to Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ in May and doctoral researchers, technical and research staff from across the University are encouraged to get involved.

Taking place 19-21 May, from 4pm-7pm each evening, Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ’s research community will be making their way from labs and offices to local cafés, restaurants and pubs to share their research stories.

Join Pint of Science Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ 2025 as we build on the success of our 2024 festival, where Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ was the third-largest Pint of Science event in the UK. With 36 volunteers and 55 incredible speakers, we brought top-quality research to life for over 430 attendees.

The headline session, ‘Powering the Future: The Clean Energy Revolution’, will focus on groundbreaking innovations in clean energy and its applications, featuring both Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ researchers and top industry experts.
