One World: Science Connects Us Edinburgh Science Festival 2021 programme revealed 26 June – 11 July 2021 Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | YouTube | Trailer This year’s Edinburgh Science Festival moved from its usual Easter holidays slot and takes place from Saturday, 26 June to Sunday, 11 July, exploring the theme of One World: Science Connects Us. With programming for the planet at its core, the 2021 Festival focuses on the challenges and opportunities ahead, as the world prepares for the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) in Glasgow in November. The Festival presents over 200 events, tours, exhibitions, workshops for children, young people and adults, over 70% of these events are available online and free to access to anyone around the world. But at heart, the Festival is a deliverer of inspirational live experiences, and is delighted that – while it won’t look quite the same as in a normal year – it is back in the live game, with a focus on getting out & about and interacting with science of all sorts. With 60% of the guest speakers in the programme women, the Festival offers invaluable insights into the respective fields of Prof. Heidi Larson, this year’s Edinburgh Medal recipient and the Founding Director of the Vaccine Confidence Project at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine; Professor of Public Health and an adviser to the Covid-19 Committee of the Scottish Parliament Linda Bauld and conservationist and adventurer Sacha Dench, among many others. Thanks to a range of walks, tours, outdoor events and collaboration with Festival’s programming partners such as, among others, National Museums Scotland and Royal Botanic Garden
