Public Engagement

FUTURES

FUTURES is a free festival of discovery taking place in the South West across venues in Bath, Bristol, Cornwall, Devon, Exeter and Plymouth throughout September. The festival is a unique opportunity to find out more about the innovative and world-class research taking place at universities across the South West.

With something for every age, FUTURES brings science, culture and research to life in new and exciting ways. There are plenty of events to experience, including late-night museum openings, hands-on activities, exhibitions, storytelling, comedy nights, talks, quizzes, radio shows and much more!

Some events are ticketed, some are drop-in, but all are completely free. Find out more about the FUTURES events happening in Exeter below.

Events showcase – Exeter

Thanks to funding from FUTURES, we're featuring University of Exeter researchers in the Our World From Space project, about the relevance of UK space science for the future health and sustainability of our home planet! If you are a researcher who would like to get involved, register your interest here.

As part of Futures 2024, the University of Exeter will be at St Mary's church in Totnes for an engagement event celebrating and exploring vital research with speakers from across the South West.

Hosted by a BBC journalist, there will be a special discussion featuring researchers from universities in Bath, Bristol, Exeter, and Plymouth. With plenty of time for conversation, all are welcome to join us in this beautiful space. The event is taking place at 19:00, on the 27th September 2024.
