Festival of Social Sciences
No need to book, just drop in!
Discover how research shapes our lives and communities through interactive activities, exhibitions and discussions.
From the food we eat and the information we trust online, to housing, health, sustainability and future careers, social science helps us understand the challenges shaping our lives and communities. Throughout the day you'll have the chance to meet researchers, practitioners and community partners, take part in interactive activities, explore exhibitions and join thought-provoking discussions.
Whether you're interested in trying virtual flavour technology, investigating online misinformation, exploring the future of housing, or learning how skills and careers are changing, there's something for everyone. Suitable for families, young people and adults, this event offers a unique opportunity to discover how research can help address real-world challenges and create positive change.
Presented by Research and Impact, University of Warwick in collaboration with ESRC.
