Science Café: Eat. Drink. Talk Science
What is Science Café?
Science Cafe or “Cafe Scientifique” is a place where, for the price of a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, anyone can come to explore the latest ideas in science and technology. Meetings take place in cafes, bars, restaurants and even theatres, but always outside a traditional academic context. We invite our region’s brightest minds to talk about their groundbreaking research.
The first Cafes Scientifiques were held in the UK in Leeds in 1998. From there, cafes sprang up in Newcastle, Nottingham and Oxford and then gradually spread throughout the UK. Currently, over 30 cafes meet regularly to hear scientists or writers on science talk about their work and discuss it with diverse audiences.
Come hear the latest that science has to offer, ask the hard questions, get real answers, and explore the possibilities that science has for your life with EngenuitySC's Science Café. As always, all ages are welcomed and a background in Science is not a prerequisite.
Science Cafe is a forum for debating science issues, not a shop window for science. We are committed to promoting public engagement with science and to making science accountable.

There is science taking place right now that will revolutionize the way we live our lives, drive our cars, power our communities, and deal with illness. These breakthroughs have the capacity to our fundamental social fabric...
