National Science and Engineering Week

National Science and Engineering Week is a 10-day long celebration of science, engineering and technology that sees people of all ages taking part in, and organising, a vast array of events across the country. In 2009, over 1.4 million people took part in 3,500 events throughout the UK. Coordinated by the British Science Association, in partnership with Engineering UK, with funding from BIS (the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills), National Science and Engineering Week aims to inspire and engage people from all walks of life directly with science, engineering and technology.

The theme for National Science and Engineering Week 2010 is ‘Earth’. This year’s theme is designed to coincide with International Year of Biodiversity. We would like to encourage organisers to celebrate this during National Science and Engineering Week.
