What is Pint of Science?
Pint of Science is an international science festival that usually happens annually over three evenings in May. From May 22-24th 2023, science researchers will be making their way from the lab to the pub to share their research stories with the public over a nice cold pint.
Last year, Pint of Science 2022 in QMUL saw ~900 attendees and 34 speakers sharing a pint at over 17 events.
The festival doesn’t happen by itself; it needs a team of enthusiastic and inventive volunteers to make it happen. That’s where you might come in… We need volunteers to run the festival in London! Roles require part-time commitment from November 2022 – May 2023 and include event manager, communications manager and fundraisers.
What’s involved for volunteers?
Pint of Science is a great way to learn team-working, event management and science public engagement. Not only is it a great boost to your CV, it’s also excellent for meeting new people and generally having a laugh – how often do you get to run your own festival in your spare time? Get involved and help showcase the world-class science that happens at QMUL. Applicants from Master to Lecturer (and above) are welcome!
Our events include the following topics:
