The Festival of Social Science is a celebration of ideas that matter to people and communities across Glasgow and beyond.
From how we work and use technology to how we connect and care for one another, these events bring research to life in ways that are fun, accessible, and relevant to us all.
The 23rd ESRC Festival of Social Science will run from Saturday 18 October to Saturday 8th November. This year’s central theme is "Our Working Lives", exploring how digital technology is reshaping the way we work and interact.
