Science Week 2021 | College of Science

Welcome to British Science Week 2021

British Science Week is a celebration of all things science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. At the University of Lincoln, we used this opportunity to showcase our expertise in these areas by creating a schedule of inspiring and interactive lectures.

If you have any interest in biology, chemistry, physics, healthcare, food science, mathematics, engineering, computer science, geography, or any of the specific topics listed below, then be sure to catch up on our British Science Week lectures via our YouTube channel. You can also use these sessions to find out more about what we do in the College of Science, our research, and what makes Lincoln such a great place to learn.
