Science Week

Science Week is a national celebration of science with hundreds of events for people of all ages taking place across Ireland. Science Week 2024 will be taking place from the 10th – 17th November.   

Science Week 2024 is harnessing the power of regeneration. The decisions we make today will greatly impact future generations and so it is important to take learnings from the past to inform our decisions for the future.   

From protecting our natural world, adopting more sustainable approaches to energy supply, embracing technological advancements and investigating new solutions to safeguard our health, it’s time to reimagine the way we engage with the world around us and enhance our collective strengths.    

This Science Week, there is something for every generation with events happening all over the country.    

Festivals and Events

Research Ireland is pleased to announce the funding of 32 Science Week Festivals and Events under the Science Week Call. The purpose of the Science Week Call is to provide support to Festivals and Events nationwide that encourage people, in particular those underrepresented in STEM, or those with less access to STEM to engage in ways that are relevant and accessible during Science Week and beyond.
