The Midlands Science Festival in 2024 includes everything from fun exploration days for families to cold water swimming and the menopause to the search for extra-terrestrial life! The festival covers the four midlands counties of Laois, Offaly, Longford and Westmeath. Events also include the science of golf, aging, biodiversity and cats big and small. This year’s festival will also include the distribution of a limited edition science map of the midlands and a special event with the National Museum of Ireland exploring the science of swifts and how we can help these birds thrive in urban environments. Linking with the science week theme, this year’s festival will explore how we can regenerate our connection to nature, our personal health and wellness and our curiosity about the world all around us. Science has a vital role to play in this and this year’s festival provides lots of different ways to explore and regenerate your curiosity.
