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.
Inspiring curiosity since 1989
The Edinburgh Science Festival began 35 years ago as the world’s first public celebration of science and technology as a Festival, and continues to take places annually over the Easter holidays.
Celebrating the wonders of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), the Festival programme includes explosive shows and hands-on activities for families and engaging talks and immersive experiences for adults.
