Okay, this is a long and unpretty list (we’ve run out of time to make it clicky), but if you want to know what your colleagues are up to at the Edinburgh International Science Festival, it’s hopefully useful.
We’ve done our best to find events not only hosted by universities, but also those hosted by others who feature people from Edinburgh’s universities.
We’ve included projects with close links to Edinburgh’s universities (ASCUS, Leith Labs) as well.
The Science Festival kicks off this weekend!
