British Science Week is a ten-day celebration of thousands of events running throughout the whole of the UK with the aim of celebrating science, engineering, technology and maths.

With no restrictions on who can organise events, the topics on which they are focused, the audience or the venue, the resulting programme is a hugely varied and eclectic mix suitable for people of all ages and abilities. British Science Week usually takes place in March every year. British Science Week is coordinated by the British Science Association and is funded by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI). British Science Week events can be organised by anyone. Organisers are people from all walks of life: teachers, community group leaders, researchers, parents, students, professionals and many more. The continuing success of the Week depends entirely on the incredible efforts of our event organisers and the enthusiasm of participants. The idea behind the programme is to raise awareness, spark enthusiasm and celebrate science, engineering, technology and maths with people of all ages and from all walks of life. Each event targets different audiences – it’s up to event organisers to decide. There are no strict rules, and any format of event is welcome, the event only needs a connection with science, engineering, technology or maths theme or sub-theme.
