FUTURES: A FESTIVAL OF DISCOVERY WHERE YOU CAN EXPLORE THE PAST, CREATE THE PRESENT AND IMAGINE THE FUTURE.
Back for another year, FUTURES promises to bigger and better than ever before! Across Bath, Bristol, Exeter and Plymouth, this festival of discovery will be taking place on Friday 24 and Saturday 25 September 2021 as part of European Researchers’ Night.
For FUTURES2021 we are working right across the South West, with researchers from the University of Bath, Bath Spa University, University of Bristol, University of Exeter and University of Plymouth joining us.
FUTURES2021 may look a little different this year but our aim remains the same - to bring research to life in new and exciting ways. And with a whole host of events ranging from storytelling to panel discussions, science stand up, quizzes and a virtual research fair, there are plenty of ways to get involved!
Some events are ticketed, some are drop in and all are completely FREE.
