British Science Festival Bursary Scheme
The British Science Festival Student Bursary Scheme enables institutions to offer one or more students the chance to experience the British Science Festival in person.
The British Science Festival is the largest annual public science event in Europe presenting the latest science, technology and engineering with over 250 events, activities, exhibitions and trips taking place over the week. The British Science Festival is unique among science festivals in the UK as it moves around the country and in the last few years has taken place in Liverpool, Guildford, Birmingham and Bradford.
This year the Festival will take place in Aberdeen from 4th -9th September, hosted by the University of Aberdeen with events taking place on campus and throughout the city. The theme for the 2012 Festival is 'Energising minds' with all of the events featured tailored for non-specialists, as are the debates, exhibitions and social events - which form an important part of the experience.
