There are only two weeks left before the British Science Festival took control of the city.
Hosted in a different location each year, it is the oldest scientific festival in Europe. The festival will give you the opportunity to connect with scientists and specialists in social sciences, innovators and inventors, researchers and artists, and to get involved and inspired their fascinating work.
A true celebration of science in all forms, this festival, organized by the British Science Association, is in its 194th year. This is his first time in Liverpool since 2008, and he has been organized in partnership with the University of Liverpool and the John Moore University in Liverpool.
The festival takes up Liverpool from Wednesday September 10 to Sunday September 14 and it will be an incredible week of more than 100 events.

What is in our water and should we worry? Do junk companies advertise digital game platforms that have an impact on children’s health? What is the next step for weight loss blows? How to make better decisions about the future? Come hear the best scientists and tell them about their work.
Shine a projector on the city
The festival takes place in emblematic cultural places on the part of university campuses, quays and downtown, with locations such as Bluecoat, Kazimier Gardens, Liverpool One, Quirky Quarter, as well as the Victoria Gallery and Museum. Cases of local community groups and charitable organizations participate, as well as researchers from universities and others across the United Kingdom. From the exploration of the urban fauna of Liverpool with LJMU biologists to an appointment with the team behind the space partnership of the Liverpool City region, there is a ton to learn and discover on our city – on earth and in the stars!
Names that you will know

* A round table on how sports scientists feed high -level performance in Liverpool and Everton football clubs.
* An evening of performance on perceptions and illusions in the original district
Prepare to be entertained
We are far from the era of school science manuals. The festival has a ton of animated performance and surprising experiences with which you can get involved, “wake up and rave!” – A morning dance experience at the Liverpool museum – in Moonface, a clown performance that explores the space race and the colonial capitalist mine of the solar system. Discover the rapper and scientific communicator Jon Chase, while he bursts of street with a theme of Dinosaur to coincide with the new film Jurassic World. Do you see what we mean there to be something you love?
Experimental comedy
A scientist and an actor enters a bar …
Who said science couldn’t make you laugh? You can enjoy a range of fantastic scientific actors for an absolutely zero thrill evening on Friday September 12, forced by the hilarious Freya McGhee.
Rely on innovation – create opportunities and inspire future scientists
Steve Rotheram, mayor of the region of the city of Liverpool, said: “Based on the history of innovation in the region, I work to make our region a research and development center, by swallowing new developments in the health and life sciences, artificial intelligence and a wide range of other areas.
“Inclusive events like this are perfect opportunities to capture the imagination of the next generation and interest them in the sciences. I hope that in the years to come, there is a winner of the Nobel Prize which returns to the time of Liverpool which welcomes the British Science Festival as a catalyst that put them on this path!”
