National Science and Engineering Week is the perfect opportunity to take science to the masses! With thousands of events up and down the country you can become part of a nationwide celebration of science, engineering and technology.

Come along to a National Science and Engineering Week info session and find out how you can get involved, collect free resources to get you started and have the chance to network with other event organisers for advice and inspiration!

This year we are developing the sessions to include more information and to be of benefit to a wider audience. Whether you have never organised an event before or regularly get involved in NSEW – these sessions will be useful.

The information sessions will be split into three sections and will include the following (varying depending on the region):
1. Talk on NSEW. This will include information on available funding, free resources, opportunities, planned competitions, national projects and more
2. Talk(s) given by contributors or partners to NSEW. Will include a range of information on Darwin200, International Year of Astronomy and from NSEW organisers
3. Networking and brainstorming session. Opportunity to network and brainstorm with others who organise science and engineering events

Information sessions will also include a display of hands-on ideas and potential activities taken from the free NSEW challenge packs.

All events are free but pre-booking is required. Food and drink are provided.
