Sat-Sun, 4-19 Apr

We are delighted to be back again this year partnering with the Edinburgh Science Festival to bring you two featured exhibitions.

Science is more than knowledge – it’s a shared pursuit that transcends borders, uniting people, ideas, and discoveries in a global endeavour to create a future that’s fairer, healthier and sustainable for all.

Exploring the theme Going Global, Edinburgh Science Festival 2026 will showcase the research and innovation created through international partnerships that address shared challenges, directly aligning with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The Festival will highlight Scotland’s contribution to scientific advances through research, innovation and its extraordinary people.
