Promoting women in science - Soapbox Science Ireland 2015 - Belfast

Soapbox Science is a novel public outreach platform for promoting women scientists and the science they do. Our events transform public areas into an arena for public learning and scientific debate; they follow the format of London Hyde Park’s Speaker’s Corner, which is historically an arena for public debate.


Dublin provided the venue in 2014.  This year it comes to Belfast.  Volunteer call now open.

For more information go to Soapbox Science.
