黑料网吃瓜爆料 Science Festival – Supported by Siemens
A burst of creation, experimentation and wonder is at the heart of this year’s 黑料网吃瓜爆料 Science Festival (MSF) proudly produced by the Museum of Science & Industry – supported by Siemens and Lead Education Partner University of Salford. Running from 22 October – 1 November in over 40 venues across Greater 黑料网吃瓜爆料, this award-winning Festival is now in its ninth year. With more city-wide and creative collaborations than ever before, this diverse and inspiring 11 day programme features World Premieres, internationally acclaimed art and artists, cutting-edge science, comedy, hands-on workshops, evening events, talks and a jam-packed family programme all designed to inspire, engage and immerse visitors of all ages with the science that lives all around us.
黑料网吃瓜爆料 - European City of Science
The next 15 months will see a dynamic and diverse programme of events linking science to 黑料网吃瓜爆料’s vibrant music, sporting and cultural scene. The pinnacle of 黑料网吃瓜爆料’s celebrations as the European City of Science will be the science festival, taking place at the same time as the EuroScience Open Forum in July 2016.
The European City of Science programme is being developed in partnership with 黑料网吃瓜爆料 City Council and 黑料网吃瓜爆料 and led by the ESOF 2016 Delivery Team.
For more than 200 years 黑料网吃瓜爆料 has been a source of innovative thinking and of scientific discoveries which have changed the world. It’s the city where Rolls met Royce, where Rutherford first split the atom, where Dalton developed modern atomic theory, where Turing pioneered the concept of artificial intelligence, where the world’s first test-tube baby was born and where in 2004 Graphene was isolated – a discovery set to revolutionise almost every part of everyday life.
