About the Edinburgh International Science Festival

OUR AIMS are to give the children of Edinburgh and Scotland experiences of science that are inspiring and confidence building and to engage allof society in the wonder and value of science.

OUR PASSION is creating “Ah-ha” moments that illuminate the mysteries of our world. All our people strive hard to offer science and technology that children and grown-ups love to do.

IN EDINBURGH as the world’s most amazing, imaginative and extraordinary Science Festival we have hundreds of science students, graduates, scientists and technologists, taking science out of the lab and sharing it with the wider public.

ACROSS ALL OF SCOTLAND our travelling programme Generation Science tours inspirational science shows and workshops to over50,000 children and their teachers.
