Share your research at Pint of Science Loughborough

The international science outreach festival Pint of Science is returning to Loughborough in May and doctoral researchers, technical and research staff from across the University are encouraged to get involved.

Taking place 19-21 May, from 4pm-7pm each evening, Loughborough University’s research community will be making their way from labs and offices to local cafés, restaurants and pubs to share their research stories.

Join Pint of Science Loughborough 2025 as we build on the success of our 2024 festival, where Loughborough was the third-largest Pint of Science event in the UK. With 36 volunteers and 55 incredible speakers, we brought top-quality research to life for over 430 attendees.

The headline session, ‘Powering the Future: The Clean Energy Revolution’, will focus on groundbreaking innovations in clean energy and its applications, featuring both Loughborough University researchers and top industry experts.

Apply now and bring cutting-edge science to the local community in a fun, accessible way. To get involved, please sign up to the themes by 10 March, using the links below.
