**UPDATE 2022: The Festival will be running from 22 October - 13 November 2022. The website will be updated with further information over the summer.**
The Festival is an annual celebration of research and knowledge about human behaviour and society and celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2022. It’s an opportunity for anyone to explore social science topics – from health and wellbeing to crime, equality, education and identity. Events are run by researchers from UK universities.
A key theme for the 2022 festival is ‘my local area’. Many of our events will explore our partner universities’ own regions, from their social and economic history to their dialect, political landscape and the future of their local high streets.
Take a look at our 2021 events to see the range of what was on offer from our partners across the UK, both virtually and in person, suitable for all ages and catering for all tastes, and put the date in your diary to join us this year!
