British Science Week at Lincoln 2024

Celebrate British Science Week with Us This March

British Science Week is a ten-day celebration of everything science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. This year the theme is 'Time', and at Lincoln we will be getting involved by hosting a science showcase event at our Brayford Pool Campus.

Join us to explore science at Lincoln as we demonstrate our expertise across a range of subjects all focusing on the development of science over time. The event will include a science showcase where you will be able to get involved with interactive activities, including retro gaming, grasshopper jump demonstrations. The event will also feature a keynote lecture delivered by Dr Fabien Paillusson, an Associate Professor in the School of Mathematics and Physics, who can't wait to share some of his expertise and passion for the growth of science with the next generation of scientists. 

Lincoln's British Science Week event is designed to give students the chance to get involved with a multitude of activities and offer an insight into the future of science and studying in higher education.

Our science showcase event will take place on Thursday 14 March 2024, from 10:30am until 2pm, in our Isaac Newton Building at our city-centre Brayford Pool Campus. You can view the full schedule for the day below.
