Programme of Events

The Robert Boyle Science Festival is a week-long festival to promote science throughout the southeast of Ireland.

Known previously as the South East Science Festival, it is now being branded as the Robert Boyle Science Festival, in honour of Waterford-born Robert Boyle. The festival has been taking place for over 10 years and has brought science events to tens of thousands of school pupils, families and the general public. Over 50 events take place throughout the week bringing international and national presenters to provide fun science events, presentations, workshops, serious science discussions and debates for adult audiences.

This festival is coordinated by Calmast, Waterford Institute of Technology’s award winning STEM outreach centre.
