Welcome to the ESRC Festival of Social Science
The ESRC Festival of Social Science happened between 12-21 March 2010 as part of National Science and Engineering Week.
To find out what happened as part of this year's Festival, visit the What's On page.
The 2010 Festival of Social Science was more popular and exciting than ever with over 130 events happening in 7 regions and in over 40 different cities in the UK. The fascinating events provided an insight into some of the country's leading social science research and how it influences our social, economic and political lives - both now and in the future.
Events took a variety of formats; from traditional lectures and exhibitions to theatrical performances, film screenings and topical debates. Events were aimed at a range of different audiences, including policy makers, business, the media, the general public and students of all ages. (Please see the 2009 Festival Evaluation (PDF) to read more about what happened in 2009.)
