In partnership with

Beautiful Science

Our Beautiful Science project takes a unique approach to the challenge of improving science communication.

We are joining teams from eight countries in South East Europe (SEE) and the UK to bring you an innovative science communication project between 2006 and 2008. Beautiful Science has been developed through the combined efforts of colleagues in Azerbaijan, Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Israel, Romania, Serbia, Turkey, and our Science, Engineering and Technology team in the UK.

Beautiful Science will focus on helping young scientists to develop the skills needed to communicate their work to a wide, non-professional audience, and demonstrating good practice in embedding science in popular culture through public events.

Beautiful Science events include:
